funny, I wish I had taken more in high school. They could certainly find ways to make language classes more fun and interesting but I think it is certainly an enriching undertaking.

La-di-da Mr. Frenchman. If you didn't want to ake french classes then you shouldn't have been born in West France.

What's the final for French class?? Do you have to tie a cherry stem in a knot with your tongue?? If so, I'm signing my wife up tomorrow!

If you travel to Nice, you will fall down to your knees and kiss your French class's feet for giving you the power to communicate with all the lovely topless ladies around you.

I agree. Took two years of French in college (after I had been to Paris lol), wish I had taken more foreign languages earlier in life. Sucks being monolinguistic.

I was happy to leave french after high school. Learning French in Canada is about keeping Quebec happy. Nothing more. It's wonderful everyone learns the language, but if no one is there to speak it....

WhenI moved here, many, many years later, I was really happy I knew how to speak French. I really enjoy speaking French. No political overtones here about speaking any language which make it more pleasant.

Both of our daughters speak English and French. One is taking German and the other Spanish.
