France: We would appreicate it if more visitors spoke a little more French

OP: I know, since a lot of people know English, we'll teach it with English phonetics so they can understand it better.

Phrahnse: No, not like that.

Fish written with english phonetics is pot, which is extremely cursed and why the english phonetics mustn't be used, ever.

Whilst we're on the subject of 'fish' bring spelt weird, Ghoti (wiki link) is a "cursed" spelling (though not a phonetic one).
