Why you aren't learning French yet, user?

1. « Oeil » (eye) is the only word that starts with a different letter from its plural: « yeux« .
2. The « ù » with a grave accent exists in only one word: « où » (where). However, if you look at a French keyboard, we say an AZERTY keyboard, you will see that the « ù » is directly available!
3. Normally, words ending in « -ette » are feminine words. Normally…
But there are two exceptions! « Squelette » (Skeleton) that is not the only male word ending in -ette, there is also « casse-noisette » (nutcracker)!
4. Ahhh, French phonetics! What about the word « oiseau » (bird)?
Well, the word « Oiseau » is the smallest word containing all the vowels and its plural, « oiseaux« , is the longest word of which none of the letters are really pronounced.
5. Do you sometimes have trouble knowing if a word is feminine or masculine? I understand you…
To make your life easier, you can use these two words regularly: « après-midi » (afternoon) and « météorite » (meteorite). Do you know why? Because you can choose to say them in masculine or feminine! Both possibilities are correct..
6. Historians agree that the French language was born in 842.
The first French document dates back to 842, and it is the Strasbourg oaths. Published on February 14, 842, they mark the military alliance between Charles the Bald and Louis the Germanic, against Lothaire Ier.
At the same time, this political agreement constitutes the « birth certificate of the French language« .
7. Do you know what a « palindrome » is? It is a word that can be read from left to right – that is, « normally » in French – or from right to left.
For example, the word « kayak« .
Do you know what the longest palindrome in the French language is? It is the word « Ressasser » (rehash, resit) which is the longest palindrome word in the French language.
8. And an anagram, do you know what is it? I think I do. It’s a word that you write with all the letters of another word.
Do you know this strange anagram of French?

Luke Howard
Tu est un faguette.
Carson Stewart

Grayson Davis
Non.
Both Russian and German are going to die in less than 50 years, an unrecoverable décline.
Oui, c'est bien, mais t'es vraiment français?
Josiah Murphy
aussi français qu'un normand peut être !
Colton Ward
Speak American. The language of planet Earth.

>Both Russian and German are going to die in less than 50 years, an unrecoverable décline.
And French will outlive them? at this point you're trolling

This is the 4 times 20 plus 19 th time I’ve told you I hate the French and I don’t want to talk to them

>Do you know what the longest palindrome in the French language is? It is the word « Ressasser » (rehash, resit) which is the longest palindrome word in the French language.
Weak. In Serbo-Croatian we have " Ana voli Milovana" ( Ann loves Milovan ) and I'm not even sure it's the longest one.

Aimez-vous la bonne nourriture et le vin? Si vous répondez oui, vous êtes déjà français.
PS. Pensez de vous hydrater, svp. Le chaleur est forte, très forte là-bas, j'ai entendu...
Andrew Sanchez
Awesome!
There are also entire sentences wich are palindromes : exemple:
"Esope reste ici et se repose."
discard the spaces, it's a palindrome
Chase Mitchell
frog propaganda will not work on me. I will learn german and Ich werde ein Übermensch
Gabriel Jones
I love France. Trouble is they haven't had a descent ruler since Louis the XIV
Eli Ramirez
English natives have no reason to speak any other language. Non English speakers must learn English if they want a good career. So I see no need to learn another language
James King
Because soon in France they will speak Arab
Brody Price
Napoleon existed, lmao.

>French
What is this, the 18th century? Maybe they shouldn't have eviscerated the aristocracy of our entire continent if they wanted their language to be relevant.

I used to have French lessons in my high school but forgot everything since

Any courses/books you recommend getting to start?

I was learning French but my gf wants us to move to Spain with her family so Spanish it is and to be fair Spanish is far more useful.
If how useful it was didn't matter Id learn Italian
Juan Sanchez
A beautiful language but a real pain in the ass to learn. I don't see why anyone would inflict upon themselves the pain of learning french except for linguistic passion or having no choice but to live in France, in which case, oh poor you.
Nolan Kelly

Who the fick wants to speak French?
Even the guys in Louisiana are ditching it.

8. And an anagram, do you know what is it? I think I do. It’s a word that you write with all the letters of another word.
Do you know this strange anagram of French? «Endolori» (painful) is an anagram of «indolore» (painless), which is its antonym! That is to say, it means exactly the opposite.
The same letters organized differently to say one thing and its opposite… That’s the French spirit!
9. Can you count in French? If so, you must have «liked» finding out how to say 70, 80 and 90, right? 
Well, rest assured, some French speaking countries have decided to be logical unlike the French! In Belgium, French-speaking Switzerland and parts of Canada, «soixante-dix«, «quatre-vingts» and «quatre-vingt-dix» are called «septante«, «octante» and «nonante» respectively.
Much more logical all the same!
10. I’m sure you know that the French love to translate all the technical words and have their own version.
An e-mail = un courriel
A spam = un pourriel
And did you know that there is a French word for an e-book? Le livrel.
I reassure you, nobody uses it.
Hunter Cooper
What is your point here you stupid faggot? Do you think a single fucking person on this island denies or cares to begin with that our language has French words in it? Shut the fuck up you obnoxious cockroach do you even know how language works
Cooper Morales
What do you mean? I can already speak French
Carson Rogers
I speak dutch which is enough throat cancer already, i’ll pass
Owen Rivera
Why the fuck would I want to learn a language that sounds that I am on the verge of puking. Better yet have to pronounce two syllables when the word has like 20 letters.
Lucas Phillips
Based leaf. The fact that they really don't have a word for ninety and have to do the whole 4 times twenty and ten in fucking 2022 just shows how intelligent the frech "people" are.
Sebastian Gomez
>Il mange le croissant
>Ils mangent les croissants
Pronounced absolutely the same (except for a slight vowel change in le/les). So they care about their plurals in writing, but dgaf in speaking, how fucked is that.
Parker Nguyen
Why would I want to damage my brain thinking in french speech patterns? Why did english take over the world? Partly because its was a language of whites, but its also how a language affects cognition. In canada they want to start teaching aboriginal languages. What for? So I can think like a third grader who had a stroke and knows 150 words? Imagine learning mandarin, holy shit, a langue so useless even most of their own people can’t understand it.
Evan Hernandez
I can respect the Dutch. Don't you want to gekolonise the entire world? Come on, I'm sure you want.
Liam Rodriguez
We do in Belgium, you bunch of white supremacist incel worms

I do speak French. Watch-
"We wuz kangs, ooga boogo, *click click*"
See, I'm completely fluent.
Jayden Gutierrez
You say that when Ukranian is just a retarded version of Russian.
Jason Allen
I'm learning Italian (B2 level), then Russian, then Mandarin. If I succeed at that, I'll learn French and German.
Christian Bell
It takes time. My English is excellent if I may blow my own whistle but we've learned that in public school plus my own effort. Then I tried to learn Spanish and later Italian but it's pain. I have decent understanding of Italian in terms of grammar but I'm completely unable to carry out a conversation.
>What is your point here you stupid faggot?

Picrel
>Do you think a single fucking person on this island denies or cares to begin with that our language has French words in it?
I know it for a fact they do
>Shut the fuck up you obnoxious cockroach do you even know how language works
Yes I do, I speak English and learning Spic and Polentone.
You ?
Carson Jackson
Because they're low IQ retards drunk on capeshit and Fortnite with the attention span of a rotting goldfish.
Let them wallow in their crass ignorance.
Camden Cox
>Why you aren't learning French yet, user?
It's waste of time
Cameron Nguyen
I'm sort of at the same point in Italian. I have a good, intuitive understanding of the grammar and all the different tenses now besides passato remoto. I'm at the point in Italian where to get to C1-C2 I just have to memorize thousands of new words and continue to practice speaking. It's like the honeymoon phase is over, this period of language learning where it just becomes a long grind is very demoralizing.

I should have added "except I can carry a conversation"
