I took French for a few months when I lived in Ireland. I was in 6th grade. I hated it, particularly when my teacher made me sing a song about apples.
I took French again at the local community college for high school language credits. I had a slightly (but not much) better attitude and actually remember some of it (though it was over 20 years ago).
Friends introduced me to Eddie Izzard's work a few years ago and I was enthralled. He is a comedic genius. I recommend him to anyone, even people who are uncomfortable with transvestites (get over yourselves). Below is a clip of his description of a performance he gave in France. Ever since seeing this, whenever I see that confused look I often get after I say something I probably shouldn't have, I consider it their "Quoi?" look. It amuses me and staves off embarrassment.
Enjoy.

OMG! I ROTFL!!! This Eddie Izzard guy is hysterical! Reminds me of my French teacher and the four years of French I worthlessly took. Talk about something I really never used again....I use Algebra II more than French. Merci Beaucoup!
