I can carry a basic conversation - certainly enough to get by and be understood. last time I went to Quebec though, most locals were like “hell naw” and assumed I couldn’t. This is without even speaking a word, though. They had an uncanny ability to guess my primary language by appearance alone.

This is in Montreal, btw. I did spend some time around the Mont Mégantic valley area (super rural, basically farm country vibes) where I encountered people whose English was worse than my French. I was able to get some practice in with them, but I could tell they didn’t necessarily like it haha!
