I can understand some because I took French in middle school and continued it in high school (regrettably), in total about 7 years. I wish I had chosen Spanish instead. Or Korean so I could just cheese my language requirement. I'm not that interested in French culture and I doubt I'll ever go to France. My dad is fluent though because he went to a French high school, so sometimes I'll hear french tv shows in the background but that's about it for french stuff in my life lmao.
I used to had French classes in my school, but to be honest, except for maybe like a few words, I'm not
able to talk or to understand anything in French without having the help of an translater. I only decided
to choose French classes back then because the other classes weren't really my thing, besides I thought
it would be easy to learn it, but honestly, I had so much trouble to understand something. Looking back,
it was definitely easier for me to learn English.
I’m considered bilingual, though I’m not 100% confident in my spoken French. I took French Immersion throughout grade 1-12 and continued it in university. No matter where I look for careers it’s a huge asset to have in Atlantic Canada. I’m thankful I got to grow up learning it
I wish I could, French is a really beautiful language. I've always been fond of classical french music even if I can't understand it. La Vie en Rose in particular is really special to me, I always kinda start crying whenever I listen to the original by Edith Piaf. :,)
