    Well, did we learn French? Growing up in the woods of central Quebec, if you spoke English you got a good smack to the back of your head.


    just kidding of course, but people were sort of against the English. I didn't start speaking English 'til I was five and moved closer to Ontario.

    I went to a French first language school in elementary school, then I went to an all english high school. I wished I had stayed at the French high school, but it was too far away.

    French rocks.

    Growing up in BC it was pretty much useless and I wish we had had more language electives (spanish was cool, i would have liked german or japanese or something - i went to a pretty small school). But now that I'm out in NB, I see why it's actually useful in school... everybody out here is bilingual, it's ridiculous. But it's handy when traveling to Europe... I did get the grammar bashed into my head enough to be able to pick up the basics when I travel. Good stuff.

    I took french from grades 6-12 and I loved it. I'm always one to learn anything and everything I can that intrests me. It was hard at first asking the grade 6 teacher over and over "comment dit-ton....?". But by the time I got to grade 12 it was so natural, almost as natural as english. I graduated with an intermediate certificate I think. I don't know french is a beautiful language. I want to learn spanish next. Thatd be wicked.
