~~Ramblings~~

When I was in 11th standard I wanted to take French but my mum didnt allow me to take than and instead forced me to study sanskrit which was pretty useless as it was an exam were we can write everything in english.

I feel that was a bad decision and today when I was hanging out with group French girls I felt handicapped!
what to do is it worth to learn French from the scratch ?

Sri... You did learn French at TCS!

Find below an useful tip when you use a foreign language -

In promulgating your esoteric cogitation or articulating your superficial sentimentalities, and amicable philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity.

Let your conversational communications possess a compacted conciseness, a clarified comprehensibility, a coalescent cogency,and a concatenated consistency.

Eschew obfuscation and all conglomeration of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement, and asinine affectations.

Let your extemporaneous descanting and unpremeditated expatiation have intelligibility and voracious vivacity without rodomontade or thrasonical bombast.

Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolificacy, and vain vapid verbosity.

In short: "Be brief and don't use big words."

See there is difference between learning it for 1 month and learning it for 2 years when I was young :)

Sri, all you need to learn is couple of sentences:

1) u r btful
2) i luv u
3) few others - when we talk next time ;)

When I was working in India I learned these sentences in 5 different indian languages and turned out to be pretty handy ;)
