No kidding! One of my friends briefly dated a German guy three years ago who used to whisper things to her in German while trying to get into her pants
I can speak French pretty fluently - I did most of my elementary education in French and then continued it throughout high school. I'm always eager to practice French with people, because the only chance I got to speak it everyday was when I was in school. I never got to take the class in university - it always filled up and there were only 40 spots. And I don't live in Quebec (where the French language police are out in full force right now
), so it's hard to maintain the spoken aspects of the language. Reading and writing is fine for me, though.
In high school we also had a choice to take an extra language course - either Spanish, German, or Latin. I took German for one term but only because there was a guy in the class who I had the biggest f
ucking crush on
. In hindsight I wish I took Latin. It was always more interesting to me anyways.
I know some things in Italian due to all my musical training, and bits and pieces of Serbian because of my boyfriend (it's his native language). I teach him to say things in French and he'll teach me things in Serbian. Currently working on Serbian, would like to be able to string together a coherent sentence someday, haha.
