I went to Quebec this summer as an American.
My hamburgers were never burnt. Granted, I wouldn't be surprised if, say, some of the residents were making fun at my expense in French, but if I can't understand it, it can't hurt me.
That said, I liked Quebec a lot more than America. Even without knowing French.
Canada and the U.S. are the only countries I've been to.
