Why I don't like French

I've never been to Poland but I've been to Czechia and I certainly did learn some Czech beforehand. Mind you the locals were far more likely to answer in German than in English. Probably not true anymore these days unfortunately.

Learning languages is a good reason to travel, too bad the "English über alles" crowd don't understand that. If only these idiots would stop whining...

To me, it was the other way around.

If you want money and a good career, then go the UK. If you want a beautiful, fun, interesting, sweet life, then go to Italy. But what about France? Oh! I'm afraid there's no reason to go there! None whatsoever!

Sadly, France is falling apart. If you speak to any old French person, they will tell you that the France of literature, cinema and the arts is on her deathbed, agonizing in her final throes. What a pity!

I think that the French are the worst at speaking foreign languages. When I hear French people speak English, 4 out of 5 times it's extremely difficult to understand them. I'm not sure why this is the case. Is the French education system to blame? Or do the French simply not care if they are not understood by the rest of the world?

Eu acho o Francês a língua mais chique do Mundo!

French is considered "chic" by people who can't speak it.

Eu acho a Evinòria a mulher mais idiota do mundo!

Is Evinoria a woman really or a tranny?

There's no need to be rude with the poor lady, this time she wasn't even talking nonsense about Brazil.

<< French is considered "chic" by people who can't speak it. >>

While I do like French very much, I think there's a hint of truth in this. But I guess it goes for all languages heavily stereotyped. For instance, German is stereotyped as an ugly and aggressive language, and I've seen many people change their views on German once they learned a bit of it.

French is a chic language, but only in the jargon of the upper class. 95% of francophones don't speak a chic language, at all. This is true for most languages. So yes, it's indeed a stereotype about French.

What is the jargon of the upper class? When I hear Sarkozy I don't perceive any chicness.

Only chic language is British English. French is the same as European Portuguese or German.Ugly sounding "r"....

You have chic languages and you have peasant tongues (not even worth of being considered a 'language').

The point is, you have to able to use the richness the language offers to a maximum degree. Some speak their native language as a soulless inefficient medium of communication, very primitively, with the only reason their own laziness or should we say, decadence.
