French and English are my maternal languages.
To learn German was difficult.

My wife had much difficulty learning what French that she knows. It is very difficult for Anglophones.

(123,134 posts)person in any language. Didn't mean to pick. But i think Doug Ford as a 'retail politician' is not naturally good at grammar or spelling either. Ne lui disez pas. Man i have 13 years of french or more and i needed more. You must be good at languages if you only did 2 years and remembered what you did.

Saviolo
(3,321 posts)He was in over his head in municipal politics, and he's in way over his head at the provincial level. He would be completely at sea at the federal level, which makes him perfect for a bunch of experienced politicians at the top of the CPC party to manipulate him into just what they want. Dougie, you're being used.
