Yeah, it breaks my heart how languages are treated in general. I love French, too, and we have the coolest French teacher ever. Only other option is Spanish ofc. And even with those, in my junior year the French and Spanish teachers had to have a battle with the guidance department because they wanted to axe the levels above 3 for foreign language =|. I think our French teacher threatened to quit or something to get guidance to change their minds. Since some of our diploma programs require so many years of foreign language, it really wouldn't be cool to have no option but Spanish, and getting a new French teacher, or some other language teacher, wouldn't be easy.

I don't get why it's so underappreciated, either. Such a beautiful language. My French class did a trip to Europe that I went on, it was always France + one other country and that year it was Germany. I was only there for two days but fell completely in love. tbqh I think I was in love after two hours.

I've heard some nasty things about what schools want to do with language programs. Like they want to cut all the upper levels (or in some cases all levels) and have them taught exclusively online with something like Rosetta Stone. Gross. I mean, Rosetta Stone can teach you some stuff, but it's just not the same.

I think there are just a lot of misconceptions about German. Most people don't realize how beautiful and soft it really is. They just think about Hitler or Arnold Schwarzeneggar and assume that everyone's really harsh and mean. ...Even though those two are both Austrian-born, which isn't to say that all Austrians speak like that either, but the dialect certainly is different.

That's so awesome that you got to see Germany on a French class trip! I hope you do get to go back some day and that it's just as awesome as it was before. It really is a lovely place.

Yeah, it's really sickening. Rosetta Stone is a nice tool for people who can't access a proper class for whatever reason, but it's not a replacement. I really hate America's attitude about foreign cultures...=|.

Seriously. The dialect isn't the same at all. Hell, Austrian German is gorgeous, too, actually. I have a recording of Kiss the Girl from The Little Mermaid in Austrian German and it's absolutely gorgeous all the way around. But yeah if you are listening to Adolf Hitler or a star of action movies, of course it's going to sound rough and harsh. Personally I think it's rough in a really sexy way more often than not. Listening to Peter Fox music gives me shivers. The good kind of shivers.

Thanks, I am sure that I will because I sure as fuck am not giving up.
