You Should Learn French

C'est super! You appreciate the finer things in life... wine, art, cheese, love affairs.
You are definitely a Parisian at heart. You just need your tongue to catch up...

How about you?

Most definitely not. I'm an American at heart and in reality. Why would anyone want to live in a country where, in recent decades, the intellectual sphere has been dominated by flakes like Derrida, Althusser, Baudrillard, Barthes, and Foucault?

I got told I should learn chinese, and that I'm a 'natural entrepreneur' . The first sounds interesting, but not enough to encourage me to do it. The second made me laugh until I fell out of my chair.
