Anyone here speak French?
I'm trying to learn it. So just wondering...
(I know Americans aren't supposed to like the French these days and the French aren't supposed to like Americans, but hey... I have Quebeçois blood in my genes! I might as well learn the language.)

It's fun to learn French, that's what I have heard from my friends who were taking the course with me - I had to take a foreign course so I took french as I do speak it and did not want to learn and struggle with a new language.
I found it easy to learn French as I learned it in school when I was 5 years old.

Fun to learn French, are you crazy! I did it for 5 years in school, got a B at GCSE. Went to France a few weeks ago and couldn't remember a thing! Most of them speak English anyway now so glad I didn't waste the extra time doing it at A level!

I only went for a few days but I met only one person who didn't speak English when I said "Hello" and she was about 70 when we were asking for directions, luckily her grand daughter spoke almost perfect English.
