I'd love to see how 30 year olds feel about that.

I can imagine that you feel more awkward in school where you're literally doing grammar exercises. But I feel like most the people I know who grew up bilingual speak English extremely well (just like the people who played two varsity sports tended to be better at both than they would have been just playing one)

A bit of context :

This was done using Python. The algorithm works by asking Google Maps what is the fastest route using public transports from any point to Notre-Dame, on 02/20/2023 at 4PM.

Changes from a subway line to another are allowed, as well as walking or taking the bus.

EDIT : Also, Notre-Dame as been chosen because it is roughtly at the center of Paris, and the starting point of all distance measurements in France
