Many people asked me this question. Some people learn a language because of the job or other reasons. My dream is to know all 6 official languages of the United Nations and French is one of them.
You are learning the language and you find out that you cannot understand when the people are talking? Don't worry, maybe you just not learn it in the correct way.
