My (real) name is French and I come from a French background so 90% of the time when I exchange names with someone when we first meet they immediately ask "are you French?", followed immediately by "do you speak French?" (answer's yes - I don't have a French accent though).
Feel like there's a lot of potential to have fun (though it can get irritating) with this since it's so recurring but I don't really know how I can make the most of it (most of the time I just say "yeah" or "my family's French" and immediately move on). Any better ideas on what I could say and how to accompany it non-verbally?
