      You don’t understand, multilingualism is part of the healthcare. It delays the onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s, and has many other benefits. I suppose if you hate French that much you can always choose another language.

        in all seriousness I do enjoy & appreciate learning languages, at least a lot for a dumbass American haha. been trying to learn Japanese and Spanish on and off for about 15 years. hopefully someday I’ll get serious enough about one or both to go for conversational fluency

        I probably would enjoy learning French as much as I enjoy memeing about it lol

      Take it from someone who speaks both as a foreign language: French is far, far less insane than English. I’d welcome it being the lingua franca instead of English. Or Spanish, or Italian, that’s fine too

        it’s definitely less insane than English. the fact that English became as dominant a language as it did is a cruel linguistic joke
