Actually I’m proud to say in school I failed French for two years. Prissy ass language. The little bit of Spanish I do know I learned in night class. I didn’t fail at it but I hated it. My wife said ‘’If you’re going to fight the enemy you have to know the enemy’’. I think of all the Romance languages Italian is the nicest sounding.
I had two years of French in college and traveled around Francophone Africa for a while. If you dropped me in the middle of France, I could order a meal, get a hotel and rentacar and find my way back to CDG or ORL. I had an official five month Spanish course, then spent ten years in Latin America. Spent four years in Italy and could get by in Italian, back in the day.
I've always loved the sound of Romanian...
