this was gonna be in the tags of a reblog of a post abt the miette pronunciation poll but i closed the app for two seconds n it refreshed my dash so,

i know the second language you learn at school in an 'english is the official language' country is determined by a variety of factors. and i do know in england it's french mostly cuz france is Right There. but it took me many years to realise that second bit so any time an english native speaker doesn't have at least some idea of how to pronounce french words i am so thrown. i took french for five years. what do you mean we didn't all take french for five years

#yelling at clouds #if that number seems weird to other uk people #i started french in year 5 n didn't do it at gcse #which was hashtag controversial cuz of my school's hardon for the fuckdamn baccalaureate but I didnt have to do a speaking exam so i did win #i don't know if im actually bad with languages i think i just didn't have the capacity to practice #i only did one year of german n that's GONE but a bit of french did stick #the ne and the pas hug the verb. a vocal stim i will keep in my brain until i die.
