I didn't enjoy foreign languages in school but now there are people I would really love to talk to with their first language.

I have the impression if my parents had taught me a foreign language as a child I would've probably forgotten most of it by now if I didn't have someone to talk to. I grew up in the south so this most definitely would've happened.

Minus japanese I suppose because well anime and games.

I'd like to be fluent in another language, but I would need to practice it a lot every day to get there, and I'm not going to be able to get myself to do that unless I'm living somewhere where competency in a non-english language is a flat-out necessity for basic subsistance.

I was taught french up through to 8th grade, whereupon I met a teacher that ripped up one of my final exams because I had the gall to write instructions she gave to us verbally before the test on the booklet.

Basically gently caress French forever.

Brexit and another four years of Tory Hell mean I am probably going to move back out of the UK, which means probably ending back in Paris, which is a black pit in the Earth from whence Satan crawled, and I'm going to hate every second of it.

One of the few things I legit liked in that movie Elysium was that all the pretentious rich assholes spoke bad French even though everyone back on Earth either spoke Spanish or English.

My grandma used to brag about the cherokee blood pumping in our veins but my dna test said I was all white. 50% Western European, 50% Eastern.

Jodie Foster actually went to a French school in LA and as a result, speaks perfect French with barely any trace of an American accent, so it actually wasn't bad French! :v:

That's interesting because when that movie came out everyone was going on about how bad her accent was. I had no clue what a bad or good french accent sounded like so I just assumed they were right but that maybe her having a bad accent was the point.

Glad that's cleared up.
