Shakobe, what interests you about the French language? I tried learning some French before going there and just ended up speaking English. They managed to colonise some poor African countries in the past and got them to speak the language, so learning French is a good thing if you are an aid worker or processing asylum/immigration claims in the UK, which is where they all want to come and live, but for anything else? I'd be interested to know! 

The French language seems like a good one to learn as apparently there isn't much vocab, although I struggled to learn how to pronounce words properly without hearing them. The way they pronounce written words is odd to say the least! I can't remember much, but I think the grammar is quite simple, so that's good. If you do decide to learn it, I would be interested to know how you approach it, so keep us updated. I found it a lot easier to listen to than to read and might try to learn a bit more of it if I decide to go there again. Paris has some nice architecture and art and some things about it were quite quaint, such as watching old men play bowls, while other things were very odd.. All the pigeons in Paris have no feet...wtf!!! Is that some disease or are people going around cutting all their toes off and eating them? I wouldn't put it past the French. This is a group of people that eat snails, frog legs and baby birds and use the name "Roast Beef" as a racial slur against the British... They eat pigeon toes!!
