@sillasion, rank 3 means you're competent with most aspects of the skill, in this case you're absolutely fine asking for directions, ordering drinks/food/making small talk.
you'll need to roll for advanced stuff, like really technical or niche applications, or really detailed personal conversations, or dealing with heavy accents etc.
dont sweat the small stuff like shop interactions etc, for the most part i get by in france with about 5 sentences and a lot of pointing :-)
