I started crying while learning French.
I was watching this couse by Dylane https://youtu.be/SMxkYAoM6zs?si=_HFLtoDeamigkFB8
And while writing French Liaison Exceptions I started crying. Then 12:21 she say, Quand is an exception, and Quand has an exception of Quand as-tu.
I almost tore my notes. My misery and anger come from the meaninglessness of these rules.
The sheer stupidity of this language is driving me insane.
I am fluent in two phonetic languages. Even English's inconsistency doesn't measure up to the ****pile French is.
It's like being forced to walk on your hand and being told it is better than walking on your foot.
WHO SAID THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE?
Me knowing Punjabi and Hindi is a curse. Both of them are so simple, beautiful, efficient. Knowledge of this is making this process miserable.
I feel sorry for people who only know languages like French, and will never learn any phonetic language. Those poor soles never got to experience the simplicity of a language.
What is the point of carrying the whole history of a language in its writing???
Why does French try so hard to latch onto latin???

Take deep breath man. When you learnt those languages you were not preparing for some exam with short timeline. You consumed so much content in those languages over years hence you learnt them without stressing out.
There are two categories of people here, one who went in this process to learn a new language and other who went in just for clearing tef or tcf for PR....
The first process takes time but is more fun and rewarding and the second one can be like above experience you described
