    I guess I have my answer ;) I don’t know Russian but I know enough Ukrainian to know you’re talking about French and Italian, lol.

    I said that I hate French specifically and that I regret never having learned Italian properly. In German I said that I have no problem with learning new languages if it wasn’t for lack of time.

    Not quite sure what you hate accoustically about French, […]

    Reading and writing French is OK(ish, if I didn’t vocalize it in my head). I really hate the sound of that language. It sends shivers down my spine. I think for one thing I prefer harder/rougher sounding languages. Also, I’m an unforgiving person. We were told we can start learning a third language when we are in 7th grade. I was pondering whether to pick up Russian, Italian or Swedish. Then 7th grade comes around and the school’s like: Yah, you can choose between French and Latin. Well, fuck you too school. I hate our school system for this (and other reasons) to this day.

    but you seem to like German

    Being German, I’m kind of stuck with it. Not that I particularly dislike it, though.

    If you’re comparing to Spanish (among others), I guess the overall stressing of sounds in a sentence is pretty different, too.

    I dislike French, the language, not the people. I slightly dislike Spaniards, but not their language. Italian people speak loudly because they talk across the street. Spanish people do that while standing right next to each other. I think I’ll never get used to that.

    Also, what kind of French did you have to learn?

    French French.

    […] which tends to indicate you’re Canadian.

    Ha! Show me one comment where I apologized ;-)

    Friend of mine went to a school which fashioned itself as “the old school” (as in historically old school). They learned latin and old greek instead of anything useful. He was furious when he came back from vacation in Greece and he only found one person, an old professor in Greek history, who he could talk to.

    Tu détestes le français spécifiquement, ou juste le fait d’avoir eu à apprendre une autre langue?

    Я ненавижу французский конкретно. Я сожалею, что так и не выучил итальянский должным образом.

    Le français, je peux comprendre un peu, il y a quant même plusieurs spécificités étranges à cette langue.

    That accoustic dumpster fire shouldn’t even be referred to as a language.

    Détester le fait d’avoir eu à apprendre une autre langue, là je ne comprends pas du tout!

    Außer mangelnder Zeit habe ich kein Problem damit neue Sprachen zu lernen.

    Organization is for the simple minded. I’ll just quote myself:

    I recently read an interesting article about a team of anthropologists researching this matter. Before, everybody thought that reddit was this completely fictitious mythical thing. Their work showed that there very likely was an actual interweb platform called reddit. Some even believe that it might still exist, hidden in a corner, a mere shadow of its anecdotal glory. It’s interesting how this - superficially - myth shaped our language. I’m a tad vary of that article though, because it feels like it could have been the hallucinations of a language model. Or, it could have been my hallucinations. How am I supposed to know? What even is reality? For all I know, what ‘we’ call reality could be nothing but the fabrications of my mind with you being a subconscious projection of a conflicting fragment of my self. Or as the cool kids call it, an NPC. I won’t claim that I understand the lingual leap from that concept to the Nuclear Pore Complex, but, anyways … where was I … ah, yes: devilled eggs are an abomination. Why on Earth would my subconsciousness, or any demented part of it, invent devilled eggs and then fabricate people who, at least pretend to, like them, when they factually taste bad, and I am allergic to mustard? I think it’s safe to conclude, that my subconsciousness is an asshole. Q.E.D.

    How many hours does the day have again? Anyways, it’s not enough.
