You sound French.

I speak three languages, I don't speak French on purpose and I will never learn it, I'd rather learn Russian or Hebrew than French.

They are as arrogant as it gets and they are hated for it rightfully.

I happen to speak French, German, Dutch and a bit of Russian, and if I dig deep, some remnants of Arabic might come up. I can assure you Russian is the more poetic but French definitely the easiest to learn.

I know that Russian is very hard, I didn't learn French out of spite. I had it in school, I hated it so much that the moment it wasn't longer necessary I abandoned the entire knowllage about it and I can't remember anything meaningful (besides some meme stuff)
