<p>I second on taking up French. I personally live in Canada (not quebec) and it is pretty widely used near the Ottawa/Montreal area. Many countries speak French like Canada, France, alot of Africa, Belgium, Switz etc. Also, everytime I go to France, the people aren’t stuck up or jerks because I can speak French (they are jerks to my mom because she doesnt speak French). French people are seriously the most arrogant people and they will purposely not talk to you in English even if they know it. I realize this is a common thing in many cultures however French people just make it a rule to blatantly follow. Hope that helps =)</p>
