A little bit French

Alright, alright! I'm not sure where Jake got this hankering to learn French all of a sudden. It's a short-lived interest of his that I'm sure will fade away soon enough. But until then I'll play along. Let's all humor Jakey!

I was actually thinking about delving back into Spanish...
  1. ...because it's the second most spoken language in the known Universe.
  2. ...because, unlike French, I've been to a country where Spanish is spoken.
  3. ...because, unlike French, I'm surrounded daily by people who speak Spanish and therefore can converse with me on a normal basis.

But whatever. Since I am of French-Canadian ancestry (Jake is of Russian ancestry), I will commit to returning to my roots. Roots are good for you (carrots, potatoes, etc.).

So I've found a French Tutorial website where I can re-introduce myself to the language (I took three years of French in high school, yet I know more Spanish). We'll see how far I can get this summer. I bet that by the end of the summer I'll be speaking French fluently and Jake will still be saying things like, "Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir?"

Non!
