yeah all my french teachers were crazy too.
My first one was supposed to be teaching middle school french, and when i would ask her questions such as "When would it be appropriate to use this verb tense?" she'd respond in ways like "When I tell you to."
YYYEAH, so i'm going to retake it next semester XD
Hopefully college french teachers are better than high school ones.

I did French for... 5 and a half years, and it's amazing how much just falls out of your brain!

Can people who post in French also include an English translation please? Makes it easier for those people less fluent at it.

I speak some French 'cause I take it in school, innit. My friends and I sit and write naughty notes to each other in French :O:O

+ my friend, Sarah, lived in France for a year, so she's taught me how to say some RUDE things in French! *gigglegiggle*

I guess you didn't see my location was French West Africa a few weeks ago. :-P

I was making a commentary less on the general use of French and dialectical developments that occur with any language and more on Quebecois & Francophone culture in Canada and how most of their students are far better versed in English & French than a student who only studies one of the two languages.

Thats why I said Quebecois & not French.

I don't really notice peoples' locations, so no.

I had two French teachers in high school. One taught French 2, 4, and 5, and the other taught 3. The one who taught 2, 4, and 5 was awesome. Actually, she was supposed to teach us French 5, but to make a long story short she got really sick and couldn't teach, so we got temporary teachers. The first semester we had a Quebecois, who was horrible because she didn't have a teaching degree and made us sit on the ground around a "table" (which was really a Christmas Tree skirt) every Friday. The teacher for the second semester wasn't any better. She wasn't a native French speaker, and she had just got her teaching degree a few weeks earlier. Even though we were French 5, both teachers were teaching the equivalent of French 3, which was annoying. The only stuff I really learned was at the very end of the school year. The fact that we didn't learn anything that last year was what led me to not taking the AP French test. (To top it off, I would've made a 1 anyways because we weren't even reviewing for the test).

Anyways, I'm rambling so I'm going to stop.

I took French for three years. Only thing I can remember (aside from "my name is", but I can't even spell it, only say it) is "fish" - poisson.

No, really- I don't get it, that is the only thing I can remember after three years of taking French classes.

Now I'm taking Spanish. Much better (possibly because I'm half Spanish?).

I wish so badly that I could speak French. I have been trying to teach myself, but without proper instruction there is only so much I can do. I know basic phrases (hello, my name is Marissa, how are you, I am very sad, etc.) and some random words.

Anyone want to come teach me?
