"'Parlez vous francais?'..... 'ehhh..... non'"

Foreign languages can be a real pain to grasp if you don't learn them early, but they can also be great to know in certain contexts. For instance:

Si tu ne parle pas
Francais, tu ne peux pas
Juger les syllables

See, wasn't that fun? For those of you who cannot read that, I said (in horrible French... read it in a French accent to make it better) that if you can't speak French you can not judge the syllables in the haiku (which is not actually a haiku because it does not have the appropriate syllable make up, but you can't tell, which is the point.... shhhh).

But anywho, French can be a fun language to at least know the basics of, for it lets you truly appreciate works such as The Flight of the Conchords' "Foux Da Fa Fa" (where the title quote is from) or the famous French scene in Monty Python's Holy Grail. The uses of the French language don't extend far past that, but for all of the aforementioned reasons (or raisons, in French.... mmmmm raisins), those 4+ years of high school and middle school French could pay off.
