It’s great for your daughter and you as well, she can help you to learn the language.
French 🤢🤮
The title is somewhat ambiguous on weather the daughter also lives in France, so I’m assuming she still lives in her original, non-French speaking country but just talks to you in French now

Probably a good idea just to get more familiar with the language. Even if you’re only speaking to your own family.

Very good idea. French people are pretty bad at English.

Not my experience.
There’s a definite Parisian superiority attitude I find extremely annoying, but by and large the issue I found isn’t that they don’t speak English, but that they refuse to speak French.
It may be that my French is so bad that it’s painful, but I’d try. And usually I’d get a pause, a look, and then they’d switch to English.
The countryside is different. English isn’t as common as it is in Germany. But, if you speak passable German, they’ll at least speak German with you.
