Tu parles français ?

ouiiii. mais pour être honêtte: il fait plusieurs ans que j'ai vraiment parlé français. je suis suisse (du part allemend), et on apprend français avant qu'on apprend l'englais. (or it used to be like that back in my days, they may have changed it now.) alors pour un temps mon français été mieux que mon englais. mais après le lycée à l'université c'était englais qui était la langue importante comme langue scienfitique international, et puis j'ai jamais plus utilisé mon français.

so. all that remains today is the vague ability to form sentences that can probably be understood, but are by no means correct.

are you french-speaking then? <3

#ask #hope #tea answers #french #languages #oh #but also i'm starting to work at a new job in the swiss government #- or it's an intitution that is paid and guided by the swiss government more like - #and there it's actually pretty advantageous if you're able to speak and understand french! #there's this swiss scientific journal (not peer reviewed but just some kind of journal) that i published a paper in and #there the articles are either in french or german (possibly italian as well?) (but for sure not in rhaeto-romance lmao rip) #and then they're summarized in the other language #so you kind of only get the full image if you can understand both languages #so #my french skills might improve during the next years! - exciting! #*heart eyes*
