Without knowing a word of French or local culture, she embarked on a difficult journey of communicating with her colleagues and clients, in which it resulted in miscommunication and her being the butt of the joke. Emily assumed everyone in Paris could or wanted to communicate in English. She was forced to learn the language in class so as to communicate well with her colleagues and clients.
