I'm learning French but I'm not gonna learn those stupid lines or marks you put on top of the letters for the accents. Not my problem.

It's easy and corresponds to it's own sound

i did the same for spanish and it wasn't until something like 6 years in i finally asked the teacher "what is the point of 'é' in spanish ?" then she stared at me and said "anon it's the same as in french"

>>212563783 (OP)
You should. I remember early on I used to always get confuse with ferme and fermé. Simple mistake.

E - euhhhhh

É - eeeeeeeee

She bodied you

Based. Spelling and pronouncing foreign words correctly is cucked slave behavior.

why couldn't they just make up their own letters instead of putting marks?

Bodied that freak.
Absolutely labubued.

Don't care.

J’ai aussi pris des cours d’espagnol au lycée mais j’ai tout oublié. J’aime plus le français que l’espagnol mais c’est un peu inutile dans ce pays malheureusement.

Macron est venu en Louisiane il y a quelques années pour promouvoir la langue française.

Why doesn’t English have diacritics? I think it would make sense and be easier for foreigners to learn our language.

Vous n’avez pas appris le français à l’école?

It's not at all the same and your teacher is retarded
In French in indicates a sound change of the vowel ( for example wherher it's [e] or [ɛ]), because there's multiple ways to pronounce E.

In Spanish an accent on a vowel indicates that the stress of the word is found on that syllable in a way that is irregular compared to how the stress system is expected to work (typically it falls on the penultimate syllable of the word, if it doesn't, you use an accent to mark that). The sound of the vowel is still the same

For example El sofá is written that way to indicate it's prinounced so-FA, and not SO-fa like is typical for Spanish.

There's other uses for accents to distinguish words that are written the same but used differently, but it's not related to pronunciation at all.

why aren't Americans fluent in Spanish if it's taught in schools? Same reason, retard.

Foreign languages aren’t taught until high school here. I just figured Canada did things differently and started foreign language learning at a much earlier age. Plus, English still outnumbers Spanish in every state. It’s not an official language (aside from New Mexico maybe). Meanwhile, French is the still the official and common language of Quebec

It literally won't matter

>>212568065
Spanish is basically nonnegotiable in most non-elite contexts in America though

>>212566822
It's ugly.

they teach French up until high school then it's no longer mandatory but you can take classes if you want. People forget it by then because most kids hate learning another language.

When I learned French, I learned the Belgian number system because it's logical and the French number system is for fucking retards.

>>212568798
The numbering system doesn’t throw me off as much as finding out that certain words and phrases are only used in Quebec or France
>Le weekend
Used in France
>La fin de semaine
Used in Quebec
>Bon matin
Used in Quebec
>Courriel
Used in Quebec

What don't you understand about about four 20's being 80? Sounds like a skill issue, mon amie.
