I took four straight years of French but given my discomfort with the American educational system, I became apathetic. It's almost impossible to learn it in our schools. I didn't go to college for several reasons (to date I wish I had) so I never gave myself the chance to learn. I'm not that great with French and have interest in Russian, Dutch, Spanish, and Mandarin, all of which I've attempted. By the way, to that one fellow, I'd love to learn Russian.
