I did hate learning French numbers higher than 50, because they made no sense. The number 70 is “soixante-dix”, or “sixty-ten” rather than “septante”. Even worse, 80 is “quatre-vingt” (four-twenties) instead of “huitante” and 90 is “quatre-vingt dix” (four-twenty-ten) instead of “neufante”.
I thought in Quebec they use “septante”.
I have a film recommendation, it’s a French movie called “Apres Mai” (After May), about the student protests in 1968. You talk about screwed-up, these “students” were hardcore Maoists. And they went on to infiltrate all aspects of French society, and are primarily responsible for the mess France is today.
