| my biggest regret from HS was taking french. spanish would have been so much more useful for me, seeing as most companies in my industry have major manufacturing location based in puerto rico. (not to mention that half this country seems to speak spanish as a native language) |

French is such a prissy language. Le this and La that and throw in some Les too while you are at it. It goes well with the country though. I took 3 years of that language in high school and despise it.
However I can only imagine how hard english is to learn if that is not your native language. |
English is the easiest language to learn on earth...the only hard work is the verbs that change form in past tense...and thats about it..u dont have any male/female words or anything..it's always "the"
and the verbs almost stay the same for each person except he at present tense....
By the way, saying french is a non useful language from an english canadian doesn't impress me much...just shows how stupid some people think... |

| Yeah, it's horrible. There aren't very many things I know that I refuse to use out of principle, but I know quite a bit of French and you'll never see me use it under any circumstances. |

| yeah it is..but i still think learning a language...you have to go in a country where it is spoken....it's like impossible to learn german if you don't go to germany for some time to know the expressions and exceptions and all that sort of things! |

At this moment, I'm in a house with 4 Danes, 1 German, 5 Americans, 1 Austrian, and 1 Hispanic and it seems we're speaking French more than anything else. Go figure. |

that's a fact. i mean, i've been studying Spanish for 6 years now, and i still can't speak it fluently.. i don't have many problems reading the newspaper, watching the tele.. but speaking, oh my.. what a disaster.. and only because i've never been to Spain. |

This is my 5th and last (thank God) year with french. I really don't see the point of having it. I know I'm not going to use the fricking language anyway. I think it's really hard too, thats the problem. Translating from french to norwgians is ok. But the other way, and come up with things and write it down. My brain says stop.
I'm kind of good in oral french though. For me, I would enjoyed school much more if I hadn't had to go to those darn french classes.
The plan was to learn spanish but at my other school there were no teachers capable of teaching it. So I took french.. |

| Speaking more than one language from a young age helps a lot. I grew up speaking English and Norwegian so French was pretty easy for me. I also started taking Spanish at the same time as French, but the two started to become confusing together. Too similar, yet too different. I really do want to visit France one day to work on my French. I don't get a lot of opportunities to use it. Living in Denver, Spanish would have made more sense, but, oh well. |
