My first language was German, since my parents immigrated from there to the US. I had to learn English in my neighborhood through the other children. My parents then sent me to eight years of German weekend school which was HORRIBLE. I decided to take French in high school, and you're right, what a beautiful language. Of course, German is so guttural, so anything would have been an improvement (I think.) My husband is 1/2 Greek, and we've been to Greece multiple times now, so I recently switched my Duolingo from Spanish to Greek. Spanish is so easy compared to Greek with its weird alphabet, and also it's not as pleasing on the ear like French. Nothing beats French, mon amie!
