    French is fairly easy to pick up, I can order beers, coffee, food, explain I'm English and only speak a little French. Understand directions somewhere left and right etc. I bet within a month of living in France I could get by easily.

      Editing … I guess it has a lot in common with English. We get taught french in school but I cheated my way through it. I hated french. I think my school trips to Paris contributed to that hatred. Parisians are total cunts and there are so many tourist predators urging you to buy their stupid armbands. When I hear french I get ptsd.

      Editing … some of it does stick. I vaguely understand french talk but I cannot hold my own in a conversation. My sister wants to learn french so she can move there. Maybe I'll hear a lot of french soon.

      Editing … Yeah, if I listen to a conversation between 2 frogs I can't make out a single word. But if they're talking directly to me I get more, and once they know I'm English they speak a bit slower then I'm getting the full gist of the conversation and they seem to understand me too. I won't be making small talk for a while, but I'll get my steak medium rare at the restaurant.

      Editing … Had french as second foreign language in 7th grade, was glad to get it of it in 8th grade due getting an F. Terrible to learn, why are words completely different spelled and written? Was also told that french really like to speak in a rapid way.

      Editing … @husky what's French for "fat yank cunt"? I assume that's what he called you because you're a yank. So fat, and a cunt. No offence.

      Editing … My french failed me today. I tried to do nothing but french but I had some issues in the restaurant and we had to go a bit English. Still, I managed over 50% so that's not bad.

      Editing … The guy just shouted "fuck you" ("fuck you, man"?) as I left, because I led him on. He also insisted he was gonna get in trouble, that he'd have to pay the amount I wrote on his clipboard (donations scam, fuckers were everywhere), and I just told him, nah, no you won't :)
