I must admit that at first I didn’t enjoy my French class (le prof parle trop lentement), but it’s starting to grow on me! I’ve adopted the mindset that learning does not have to be the fast, competitive process I experienced at school. Language comes slowly and there is something to learn from everyone.

My high school French teacher made me hate learning languages. But now that I’m an adult, I’ve realized I can learn whatever language I want, in whatever way works for me. So I’m healing my inner teenager now by learning a language I actually want to learn on my own terms.
Also is it just me, or does anyone else kind of miss taking vocabulary tests?

I'm having a hard time learning my 4 ½ foreign language...
In class, I'm hopelessly behind. The first barrier you'd encounter is the tricky pronunciation. French words don't sound like they are written. And all that feminine and masculine. Accent punctuation marks, grammar.
Alexa is a great teacher.

My Latin class was cancelled two days before the start of this semester, so I had to scramble to find any open language section that would take me. An impossibly cruel stroke of misfortune placed me in a French course. Now, even after this waking hell is over, I have to take ANOTHER consecutive semester of it as a requirement for my linguistics degree. The cancellation of that Latin class effectively bound me to a year of learning a language I have no practical or academic interest in or use for. Thanks PCC!

In fact they’re working against you, especially women of colour. 84% of Tinder users are men, Bumble’s earnings have gone down hugely since its IPO (thereby further increasing their need to make a profit off subscriptions), Hinge is hiding hot people behind a paywall. People are sick of getting lovebombed and ghosted.
But we don’t need them—there’s more to life than apps—and people are beginning to seek connections in person again.
