Foreign languages in books

[Dicina]

Hi everyone,

I am currently reading If I Were You and Chris lives part time in Paris and so is supposedly fluent in french...
I get that men speaking french seem to be found hot by a lot of people, but I have a hard time when authors make their characters speak the language and it has faults in it!!!
I won't speak for the other languages like spanish or italian that come often too, but I am a bit tired of reading bad french in books.

I would like to know why authors don't have their sentences corrected beforehand?
If I was to write a book with a foreign character for example I would not dare make him speak his mother tongue if I was not absolutely sure I have it right.

What do you think about it? Or is it just me? lol

I only speak one language but could really see how that could be an issue for someone more fluent.
