Learning French in school is functionally the same as learning Latin
Like everybody in France under 45 is fluent in English, and who the fuck wants to talk to an older European. Every single French colony without exception is phasing out or has phased out the use of French as France was such an awful colonial power. Did you know that Eclair is pronounced aey-clare? This does nothing for me. I guess some people want to read Les Miserables in the original Foot Mold Language, just like random people enjoy reading Ovid or Cicero in Catholic script.. And just like Latin, fuck that everything has genders and complicated conjugation.
I swear, the French teachers in school were trying to impart the vibe that if we know the French language, French women would have sex with us.
I refuse to defend any facts that I asserted in this essay.
You're viewing a single thread.
Just cause they know English doesn't mean they want to use it while you're in their country.
Learning a second language is a gateway to living anywhere that's not
Don't visit France (unless you're a refugee from Burgerland)
I'm a refugee from Burgerland
BTW, do you get that brand of Anglo expat that doesn't learn the language after living their for years and talks to everyone like a kindergartner in English? Or is that just a global south thing?
we get them here in hungary, which is not global south but not western europe either. i've always assumed anglo immigrants are just like this everywhere.
It must be rad to tell everyone in perfect French how absolutely terrible Amerika is. Do the lord's work!
Not in France and I don't speak French, I'm only defending them as a matter of principle
I have visited though
I actually like going to france? I seem to be the only person. I also like speaking the language. It is a fun one, very melodic.
