Do you guys remember taking french? Total waste of time right?

I took 5 years of french and by the end of it all I could do was count to 10 and say "may i go to the bathroom". It wasn't just me either. There were maybe 3 people actually at grade level when I was in 9th. I remember the teacher asking me why i never did anything in class and tell her, in English, that I knew literally no french. None. Not a single phrase. All my projects were done either by google translate or simple translating English word for work into french with a dictionary

Thank god none of those frog c*nts were allowed to fail students or the class would've been a blood bath.

I once made my 6th grade teacher rage by writing "I don't know" for literally ever answer on an exam. She wanted me to leave them blank but I wasn't willing to set there and do literally nothing for 90 minutes. In the same class I once chewed thru a pencil.

My friend made he actually scream when she said french didn't matter because Canada was an English speaking country (which it is)

I also refused to sign. I don;t know if other teachers did this or just mine but she """taught""" by showing vhs's of some blond c*nt saying a word and making a hand sign and we had to repeat both. Even as a children I realized it was an offense waste of my time.

In the end not only did I learn virtually no french but I also devolved a serious and thus far life long hate for francophones. I don't engage with them, I don't hire them, I don't work for them, I segregate from them as totally as I do Indians, injuns and blacks.

It's also no small part of why I don't pay taxes. If the government has money to piss away on worthless french classes than they surely have no need of mine.

!leafs if any of u r french, plz keep yourself safe.

I took French in 6th-11th grade iirc. I'm reasonably good at reading the news and I can even get parts of movies if they don't talk too fast. Apparently Canadians just really don't want to learn it. :marseyshrug:

French was my most hated subject in school and I can't even tell you why. I just never enjoyed it and was happy when it was no long compulsory.

I have the problem that some part of my brain was like "hey wtf... We don't even know this language. Let's just go to sleep."

Every french lesson they must endure is a bitter reminder of their failure to eradicate them

Lmao you have no idea how it's taught here, they can't build on what you learn in the last year (because so many people learned nothing) so every single year they start back at grade school basics and try to tack a little more on. Literally in 9th grade I was doing the same work I had been in 5th
