I remember I always thought the candy the French cop gave Bart is what made him start speeking French.
That’s probably a better explanation than the episode itself provides, to be fair.
They do lay in one line from Skinner early on that kids tend to pick up a foreign language if they’re surrounded by it for long enough, but I don’t even think the writers themselves believed that. There’s a great moment on the DVD commentary when Bart instantly becomes fluent in French, where George Meyer’s only remark is “I buy it, I hope you do too.”
Again, it was Season 1, they were still learning.
