RE: The nice and not so nice of Marseille, France

I'm not religious either but I do enjoy visiting churches to admire it's architecture.

How is the French going? I never had the motivation to learn a new language unless I know I'm going to be using it every day, plus pretty much every one else speaks English 🙃

Sort:  

I remember bits of French from all those years of lessons at school, but I never really used it. I did learn German when I lived there, but I decided I ought to make an effort at another language that I may use. We English speakers can be lazy in this regard.

It's a pity that Germany isn't used much otherwise you could have built on what you know already.

Having the rest of the world speak English certainly makes us lazy, and uncompetitive. Everyone else can speak at least two and many even three or four languages

I've spoken some German at some Hive events :) I'm just a bit rusty on that.

I am in favour of Hive being more multilingual. It doesn't have to all be in English and we have tools to do the translation anyway.
