Sorry to say, but "listening to songs from the States" doesn't make you bilingual in any way.
If it were that easy, everyone in the entire world would be fluent in English since American music and movies are heard and seen all over the world -- people actually sing along to American songs even if they don't fully understand the lyrics.
In my experience, a number of Euphoria ladies (and we are talking about Euphoria ladies on this thread) told me they learned proficient English by listening to American music and watching American movies. Case in point: Julia and Helena, whom I met recently. In fact, I carried on a decent conversation with each even though they did not undergo any English language immersion program. My trick: be very nice to them and bond with them. When I'm paying over 220$ an hour, I make sure I am extra nice to the ladies so I can get the best possible mileage with them -- mileage for me is about making human connections with them, the sex, which often comes naturally, is icing on the cake and very welcomed.
I don't need to be bilingual in every country I travel to make human connections with the local folks or the local escorts. Like I said, sex is a universal language. If a lady (yes, an escort especially) likes me, she will speak that universal language very well, indeed.
English isn’t happening for you in those rural enclaves. And the ladies from these areas are the ones who usually have primitive English language skills which, in any event, may still be better than your suck-ass French.
I concur 100%.
