-- Posted by Precarious at 12:11 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 i've been wanting to learn since middle school and now im a freshman at college and i still dont know anything! -- Posted by isobel at 12:12 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Is your native language English? If so, I suppose it wouldn't be hard. -- Posted by Eos at 12:12 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Easssssssssssy. I'll teach you. -- Posted by BeautifulxLiar at 12:13 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 its somewhere in the middle, not easy not hard. -- Posted by look over here at 12:13 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Si. -- Posted by CLAW at 12:14 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 its not that hard -- Posted by Gemmax at 12:15 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 I'm doing my french gcse mocks in three weeks (ahh!) but it's not that bad. be prepared to work hard and remember your verb conjugations, and don't so spanish at the same time! I get so confused! -- Posted by Vintorez at 12:15 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 i started taking french in my sophomore year of college, and i'm doing ok -- Posted by rickyspeople at 12:17 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 it's not hard, comparitively. i grew up speaking both and i'm trying to learn russian now. French and english use the same alphabet, and there aren't many sounds in the french language that are hard for an anglo to pronounce. once you've got your r's rolling and understand the spelling v. pronounciation that is sometimes confusing, you'll be well on your way. -- Posted by Rachelw at 12:20 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 oui oui mon petit chere i can teach you its really not that hard -- Posted by Shaknbake at 5:28 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Learning any foreign language during/after adolescence is difficult. With French at least, you'll find plenty of words in common with English (especially -tion words), the grammar isn't horribly difficult, and there's plenty of ways to get exposed to the language. -- Posted by xlovexmex at 5:48 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 It's as hard to learn french as almost any other language. Languages are really hard to learn. but french is fun. I'm learning it now and my teacher always says its a lot harder for french people to learn english. -- Posted by Shaknbake at 8:35 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 Quote: from xlovexmex at 5:48 pm on Nov. 12, 2008 It's as hard to learn french as almost any other language.

How hard it is to learn any given language depends largely on the language(s) you already speak/are familiar with. You can't honestly believe that an English speaker would have as much difficulty learning French as they would learning Vietnamese? -- Posted by MaryLin at 12:49 pm on Nov. 13, 2008 Is it hard to learn French, you ask? It all depends on you and your own motivation to study it. -- Posted by Periwinkle at 5:21 am on Nov. 15, 2008 I find it very similar to English. It's much easier than German, for me at least. -- Posted by Kitty Kiska at 12:51 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 I find it the second easiest language...english being first cos its a joke to learn -- Posted by Zwergf at 2:41 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 60% of english vocabulary [vocabulaire] comes from ( ancient [ancien] )french language [langage]. But learn tenses of verbs[verbes] are really painful. -- Posted by Shaknbake at 7:18 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from Zwergf at 2:41 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 60% of english vocabulary [vocabulaire] comes from ( ancient [ancien] )french language [langage]. But learn tenses of verbs[verbes] are really painful. On l'appelle "Old French," et non "Ancient French," en anglais. "Ancient" a le sens de quelque chose plus... ancien que "old." Besides that, c'était la langue normande et non vraiment le français qui a apporté ces mots en anglais, n'est-ce pas?
