[@MediumDSpeaks]

I studied French for 8 years in middle and high school and college, passed AP French and took Advanced French Conversation in college. Every time I ran into French people working as a busboy or waiter they told me my French was amazing and have I been to France. I went to France when I was 22 and INSTANTLY had an existential crisis because nobody could understand me and I DEFINITELY couldn't understand anybody, and I felt like everything I had ever been told by everyone about my French was a lie. I got so angry I stayed in Europe for 16 months and forced everyone in France to talk to me in French, repeated "Please don't speak to me in English I didn't come here to speak English" a million times to all the French who try to speak English when I opened my mouth, and then when I came home went back to college and switched my major from from Pre-Med to Linguistics & French Language. Today I know I actually do speak good French bc when I start speaking French to French people, they don't speak English but French as if I'm fluent. Totally worth it. But then when I started learning Chinese, within 2 days EVERY Chinese person lost their mind like I'm fluent. It's only the French who need you to be C1 level French to have any respect for you (which I certified HAVE as of 2018 btw)

I was in Berlin back in 2014 when Germany absolutely humiliated Brazil in the World Cup and it was such an amazing time between all the bars and the like fan watch areas (also in Belgium for a lot of their matches including the US one), so I can only imagine how much fun you had in Paris for the Rugby World Cup! It is definitely the kind of experience I hope everyone can enjoy sometime. Even if you're not into sports, I'm not really, just hanging out in a major city for a big national team sports match for that country, like rugby or soccer world cup, hockey, maybe a major olympic team sports match, whatever. It is always so hype. At least for me, even more than pro/club sports. Like for me it is a different feeling having the entire country of Argentina cheering with you for a hype goal than only having the city of Boston cheer alongside you for a Patriots touchdown or something like that.
