I started French 3 times. I did not succeed in becoming even minutely successful. German was a piece of cake for me. Even Greek wasn't a big problem, though with only one year, becoming conversant wasn't really an option.

Why do they have all those letters that they don't use? it's a waste of perfectly good letters! Even worse are the rules that ... well...sometimes we pronounce an end consonant, and other times we don't..just to confuse you, imo!
French. Bah humbug!
