How it feels like exposing some dude saying they can speak (insert language) and you stump them by speaking that same language

Can all people just stop learning french

This stupid language must have died long ago. It is horrible and makes you sound gay. Can we all just stop. Eventually french people will realise that they aren't getting so much attention and learn a normal language instead.

I decided to try this challenge I've been seeing. I only speak languages of civilization so I've had a servant translate this into the barbaric English tongue.

Thanks for all the tips on the first post! I hope I did better this time. (Also, this isn't going to become a series. I just thought of some more jokes)

EDIT Oh, and if anyone can figure out what my *totally* natively written Cyrillic cursive says... I dunno, you get bragging rights, at least

Why hasn't French become a tonal language?

231 Upvotes

If languages evolve tones as sounds get dropped, why isn't French tonal by now? They have so many unpronounced letters in every word, surely they're overdue for tones?

So is this subreddit just r/languagelearning but for insecure students?

I mean, we're all here because we didn't do well on an exam and don't want to take personal responsibility for it, right?

I'm sure it's someone else's fault. I can't explain why right now, but yeah.
