Vous pouvez prendre le temps d'apprendre la langue. C'est belle.

je suis jaloux, j'etudiais français, mais j'ai beaucoup à apprendre,

apprendre une autre langue est difficile

French is a difficult language. Le Français est une langue difficile, et je suis Français, donc je sais de quoi je parle, lol.

haha I guess practice makes perfect. its hard to practice though when you live in california, and are an engineering major. been out of french class for a long while but i still try to keep up with it weekly.

J'ai regardé une interveiw avec bradley cooper. il parle français parfait. très impressionant

French is a difficult language, and my trouble is that while I can speak French OK, I can't understand it when others speak it back to me.

I remember having to recharge my metro card, and so I was standing in line thinking, "how am I going to say that I need my card recharged?" It came to me, and the words came out beautifully. I was so impressed with myself, and then the woman spoke back to me, and I froze... LOL

Approximately 50% of the english language borrows to the french one. "I need my card recharged"? = "Rechargez ma carte s'il vous plait". See? Easy. But I agree, a lot of rules in french grammar and orthography (grammaire et orthographe, see again?) make no sense whatsoever.

Here's something fun to do in Paris:

meet loulou reed and discuss Godard.

I have the same problem. Native speakers need to understand how to speak slow and deliberately to new speakers (debutantes), rather than quick and slangy.
