I admire the French to some degree. They will have a revolution at the drop of a hat (so to speak).

As to speaking multiple languages, the more the better. I only speak two; English and Spanish (and neither one well). I forgot what little Tzutujil I learned and only know 2 words in Quiche (both are Mayan languages).

I intend on becoming more fluent in Spanish and learning some Portuguese and maybe some other romance languages. Depends on where I want to travel to some degree. French appears to be more difficult than I wish to deal with. Here in the western hemisphere I can survive knowing what I now am able to speak.
