What is this mental illness called?

>>216459057 (OP)
Being a Serb.

Brian is in the kitchen.

>>216459057 (OP)
you would have forgotten it anyway, I was able to have a conversation with my Italian teacher in Italian in high school but now I only remember two or three words.

>>216459103
I am an ethnic Hungarian.

>>216459175
Perhaps, but I would have a foundation to start with.

>>216459211
Being a Hun.

>>216459424
Being a Magyar*

We have nothing to do with Huns

I'm a francophile now
I have a Pléiade collection of 26 volumes, read French for 1-2 hours each day and I am reinvigorated by my love of France every single day
I only started studying French at the age of 25 though and only started studying it seriously when I was 27
I've come to hate normie Francophiles and Australian language learners now

>want to learn french
>you have to learn the difference between a male table and a female table
No thanks

>>216459495
this guy FUCKS

>>216459495
Same. The country is gorgeous and I love their culture. Fuck my life and my shitty ancestors for being born on the wrong side of the channel.

>>216459495
You are mentally ill. Get help.

>>216459596
Fuck off, nafri. He's a C H A D

>>216459525
It’s feminine though.

>>216459057 (OP)
J’ai pris quelques années d’espagnol au lycée et l’université mais je l’ai tout oublié quand j’ai commencé étudier le français. A mon avis, le français est la deuxième plus belle du monde

>>216459525
Table is féminine though, just like that little slut chair

>preferring g*rman over french
you disgust me

when I had time I read comics in French (best comics in the world imho), I never studied the language at school but it is very similar to Italian and my dialect (Piedmontese).

>>216459726
tables

>>216459791
Not anymore.

>>216459804
Learning French for a native Italian speaker would be rather easy, no?

>>216459057 (OP)
>listen to one French song I accidentally play on spotify
What is it?

>>216459840
Spanish is easier, but yes it's quite simple

Le temps de l'amour

Devant ma fenêtre
Il y a un oiselet
Toute la nuit il chante
Il chante sa chanson

S’il chante, qu’il chante
Il chante pas pour moi
Il chant pour ma mie
Qui est loin de moi

Ce sont montagnes
Si sont très hautes
M’empêchent de voir
Ou sont mes amours

 la font de Nîmes
Il y a un amandier
Qui fait des fleurs blanches
Comme du papier

I know that feel. Then I went for holidays in France and French speaking regions, and it was great.

>>216460401

AGH, Laissez-moi entrer votre pays. Je ferai n’importe quoi

>>216460401
Sounds like you met a nice girl and fell in love

>>216459057 (OP)
Cool anecdote anon. I also want to try to learn French but I don't even know where to start. I don't know how learning a language normally goes, I pretty much learned English on the fly. I took French in high school but I had a shitty autistic teacher who just talked about random shit happening in her life every class. It was an easy class because she just repeated old tests all the time and didn't bother stopoing kids from copyibg the answers but I didn't learn anything. I literally can't string a basic ass sentence

>>216459057 (OP)
I can't learn French because no one wants to be my friend here kek

>>216459057 (OP)

You're a millionaire?

La dualité des anglos c'est quelque chose quand même. Un coup ils t'insultent puis 5mn après tu deviens le meilleur pays du monde. Pourquoi ils sont comme ça ces sous êtres?

>>216459057 (OP)
adolescence

I don't like how the words look nothing like the pronunciation
I'd rather learn Italian

>>216459057 (OP)
Similar story. I blame British and American antifrench propaganda. Maybe some German too. For example, how easy it is for people to be arrogant toward the French for no reason.
I almost failed school because I refused to learn that language. But the French embassy should do something about it so that they don't let to teach that language by cunts.
The only hot French teacher in my school didn't teach my class, so I didn't want to learn it. France also seemed to have no idea what to do with these post-communist regions and handed them over to Germany.
>>216459175
Once you reach a sufficiently high level, even if you forget everything, you quickly remember it again. It's like with muscles.

I struggle to speak French (I am a foreigner). I am not quite satisfied with my progress as I struggle to understand people in real life but I also guess theoretically I am not that bad.

>>216462330
>foreigner
From?

At what age is it too late to learn French?

>>216462386
Croatia

>>216462456
I started learning it at 25-27
If you start over the age of like 12-13 you will never have a perfect accent but otherwise you can learn any language so long as you have the time daily to dedicate to it

>>216462539
It's ok, you can stay

>>216461158
Never heard about Harmonium
Song starts like Laurent Voulzy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7ia4z4snDY
Then sounds like Michel Berger
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQFVpPdMFoI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqwZFF3BC3M
Then sounds like hippie music like Beattles
Then idk

Sounds like some perché hippie music all in all

>>216462456
it doesn't matter, you can learn it at any age. steve kaufmann (popular polyglot) knows like 20 languages and learned most of them after 60

there's a critical period for sound discrimination so adults usually will have an accent (but kids won't). but that period ends at like 8 or something

Mraszlo?!

>>216459057 (OP)
Even France doesn't like being French. Can't imagine putting that much time to learn the language of a dying culture.

Great song, love Françoise Hardy, was introduced to her through the film Moonrise Kingdom (also great). I've also been learning French for a while now and I've found that occasionally putting on a song or two helps keep me motivated, even if I can't understand most of the words. The language has a flow to it that I've been unable to find in English.

>>216461983
Strange, I've personally found French spelling and pronunciation rules much more consistent than English. Like imagine being a new English speaker and trying to figure out the difference between "laughter" and "slaughter."

>>216459057 (OP)
name of the song?
