I stupidly took four years of French in high school. At the time, students were told that French was one of the official languages of the European Common Market, the U.N., and the Olympics. I figured that, being a New Englander (with 1/8 French blood in my veins), I had more of a chance of visiting nearby Quebec, than I did of visiting Spain, Mexico, or South America. Little did I know, back in the late 1960's, that the United States would, in 40 years, have the fifth largest Spanish speaking population in the world.
If I ever have a French speaking coach giving me some problems I can always respond to him with, "J'ai entendu qu'asse'et celui est votre avertissement".
