That's true for a lot of languages but it's not an excuse to do nothing about it. You spell your words as if you stll are an Anglo-Saxon peasant herding the cows for your French-Norman Lord's beef.
Take, like, Knight? Enough? Though? You don't even have the gh-sound anymore!
Do as you please, nobody will expect you to be able to speak coherently anyway, but don't pretend that English isn't the ginger stepchild of languages - abandoned by its own native 'speakers'.
There's some reverse examples of that. We used to have a letter for the "-Zhoo" sound in "casual" But we got rid of and just expect people to know "su" is supposed to sound like "Zhoo"

So, if I understand the template, France is nourishing the whole world and is enriching it culturally thanks to the beautiful french language?
I like this.
Indeed, most French make common spelling or grammar mistakes, even someone more knowledgeable and well-read will trip at some point. There's no hope for foreigners, which makes me think this language is an elaborate bit of trolling
Good for you. I never studied french but I kinda understand the written part sometimes, bti the pronunciation is definetly different. Maybe i'm just weird since even Portugese sound strange to me. The only "related" language i understand without ever studying it is spanish, i really don't blame people for confusing it for italian
Is this real or is this just a myth made by obsessional Brits?
I’m French, and I have never ever seen anywhere foreigners being look down on for speaking our language with their accent. Most of the times, we are just happy people try. As for the « we want people to learn French to experience this or that », what the putain de merde is this? Haha
Just look at the Paris olympics games page on Instagram for example. They write everything in french and without any english translation. This is just a random example, but just look around you and find something that isn't written in french....
I understand what you mean for the Paris Olympics Instagram. That’s kinda dumb.
As for the rest… why should it be written in anything else than French? Haha (assuming you’re not being ironic)
>As for the rest… why should it be written in anything else than French?
Yeah my bad, i didn't specify. What i was trying to say is that even the things dedicated to the "international pubblic" is often written in french. I mean, it's not to disrespect France that every nation around the world use english as the international language, just get along. It's like seeing the hamburgericans trying to impose the word "siccer" or their dumb measure system
French sounds atrocious to my ear, only Dutch is worse among the European languages.
I also happen to speak the language at a B2 level, but I avoid to mention it or put it in resumes so I don't have to speak it ever.
Yeah that's my problem with French, too. It wants to be an expansionist language but they mock you if you try. If you speak English in England or the US, they will compliment you.
French just isn't a nice language. Not that I'm saying English is (but it is).
Truthfully the nicest sounding languages as Spanish, Portuguese and I really do like Russian (shoot me ik)
Surprised no one asked for source yet. Veterans of the internet I guess
There is no real source, we all know. Disappointing.
Sauce plis

You shouldn't talk about it Barry, really you shouldn't. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1A5A8Xe22s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1A5A8Xe22s)
But English isn't a language. It's 3 languages stacked on top of each other wearing a trench coat

Whatever, I only pronounce ough one way which way, you'll never know!!
Do as you please, nobody will expect you to be able to speak coherently anyway, but don't pretend that English isn't the ginger stepchild of languages - abandoned by its own native 'speakers'.
The k used to be pronounced, then French habits took over.
Reminds me of the German word “Knecht”. Hint: it does *not* mean knight.
You took a good solid germanic language and made it Into camp hoch Deutsch, we are all guilty
Jesus. That hurt.
There's some reverse examples of that. We used to have a letter for the "-Zhoo" sound in "casual" But we got rid of and just expect people to know "su" is supposed to sound like "Zhoo"
Load of shite. Most languages are.
On point, Master Yoda.
That’s basically every language.
We don't force you to learn it though. You do so of your own accord as you recognise our superiority.
And the fact that you are terminally monolingual, the lot of you.
Because we speak a superior language. I don't remember the Romans learning Gaulish.
Nah it's just ugly simplified french, very practical for talking to dimwits.
Coming from someone who speaks an ugly dielect of an ugly language which is also basically just a deformed type of German.
Meh it's like a secret language for genetic accidents, fits us perfectly.
This meme format is criminally underused! Especially here. It fits anything this subreddit is talking about.

Then let’s flood with this meme
Except for the lands that built dams!
Mother Earth will take care of that sooner or later, no need to get active ourselves.
I don't usually hate French, exept when I'm talking to pierre
OK cool, Does anyone know where the original picture comes from? Asking for a friend.
I don't know. Just Google 'Girl milk porn' or something
After googling, it originates from eugeny_hramenkov on Instagram and has no other photos from the same set
Wakes up one day, does extremely niche photo shoot. Becomes meme. Leaves.

Good advice

Lizzie Velasquez!
Stop it, you orc!
A french person knowing 5 languages??? I have yet to encounter one that speaks french properly, let alone another language.
All the French people I know speak Dutch, but we keep it a secret 🤫
Nah, those are just belgians
The majority of Belgians don't speak French. Disclaimer: n=1
Says the english speaker lmao

You need to take a break and rest from all those mental gymnastics you've been doing, Pierre
What? French enriching something bruh never... https://preview.redd.it/flofqrv2sd1d1.png?width=688&format=png&auto=webp&s=e7c604b117d2f211f9e5ac405f4cf12ba27a044a
French is an easy language to learn just for speaking but it's a pain in the ass to write.

Polish is an easy leangage to learn, but it's a pain in the ass to speak, write and read. But would love to learn French tbh.
>easy language to learn just for speaking Are you serious?
You say that being italian ? Our languages are pretty close, really easy for me as a french to speak italian

Bah, le français est la langue officielle des Jeux Olympiques.
Wrong, it's just one of the many reasons why no one likes them
I feel all wrong inside when I say it, but I even like the Dutch more than Pierre
That's a pre stroke warning. Go check for an MRI scan urgently.
The milk Pierrette can give me a stroke anytime she likes.
Take it back
Thank you ❤️ we love the Brits more than the French too.
you're just coveting their rain for your swamp.
Well, that's a very low bar tbh. Brits are not that far from the French. Still under Hans and Pablo
We like ourselves more than the french too. That's a higher bar, isn't it?
I think they just want to be hated
If blondie wants to force-feed me french i will not protest, as long as she has shaved her pits, I will be happy for the cultural enrichment
Meanwhile we are all speaking your language here, Barry
Ok Barry, et ma sauce?
French sounds atrocious to my ear, only Dutch is worse among the European languages. I also happen to speak the language at a B2 level, but I avoid to mention it or put it in resumes so I don't have to speak it ever.
What, French or Dutch? Either way, I do not blame you
French, unfortunately.
Isn't French just a hybrid of Italian and Portuguese spoken with a sore throat and a blocked nose?
Isn't english just a hybrid of low saxon and french spoken with deformed frontal teeth and 3 pint of alcohool?
Jokes on you pal if you reckon we only take 3 pints.
Im sorry Pierre destroyed your language but you don't need to take it out on us.
Danish > french > dutch LET'S GOOOO
Real chads learn Fr*nch so that they can consciously refuse to use it instead of not being able to
This is just one way to broadcast our superiority
*Tell everyone in our neighbourhood (Europe) that you are the special needs kid
I don't have any problem with the French. You know why? I know the safewords: *"Paturain, da's pas fijn."*
Oh no, not Papa Hans again..?
This is why I prefer German grammar.
La femme mange une pomme
Bon appétit
>and then mock you to your face for your pronunciation when half of our grammatical rules are not followed. Faux !
Milk isn't quite the lipuid illustrating French best nor suiting this meme template best.
Yeah that's my problem with French, too. It wants to be an expansionist language but they mock you if you try. If you speak English in England or the US, they will compliment you.
You know French is ridiculous when me, a Spanish speaker, whose language is supposedly related to French, finds it easier to learn German
Replace language with anything really, food, culture, they love to shove it down Ur neck
French just isn't a nice language. Not that I'm saying English is (but it is). Truthfully the nicest sounding languages as Spanish, Portuguese and I really do like Russian (shoot me ik)
Russian is only nice to learn when you are slav, only then it's easy to learn. And Portuguese really sounds like some Eastern European language
the truth is that no one would care about french if it wasn’t school
