the tragedy of language learning is that it is never impressive. the best you can get is as good as a random 20 year old nobody thinks is all that special. and that will never ever happen lol

and it occurred to me that this is the sole reward of french learning: Half following some french guy because you sound like you speak french enough that a frenchman finds the idea of using his broken english annoying. I will never get better than that

once I was in a sort of small city in france, and I asked a hotel guy "bonjour, est-ce que vous parlez anglais?" (do you speak english) and he looked at me strangely and said "vous parlez francais" (you speak french), because he preferred to just keep speaking french
