      Working on getting my french up to "show willing" level so the locals don't hate me too much when I make them speak English

      My french used to be on the bad side of ok but then I didn't use it for 15 years and learned two other languages badly as well.

      Anything beyond "show willing" level gives diminishing returns.

      Particularly because I honestly have very little use for French. I'd work on my German or Spanish in preference to it

      These are my foreign languages, too. It's awful, as they all speak English very well, so there's neither opportunity nor need to learn.

      I'm in Montreal right now, where it's almost made worse by English also being an official ish language

      Incidentally, I was also in Canada more recently than I've slept... though I'm now in Copenhagen where I have no shame speaking English.

          Yeah I'll be in Copenhagen and then Sweden in a few weeks and I'm not even going to pretend I'm willing to learn the languages
