    Are there any French people here? It's just that I like to have French friends since I am very fascinated with their culture.

    I'm not French, but I lived in Belgium for a few years and do speak quite a bit of French.

    I myself am not French, but my husband is Franco-German (or Germanic-French depending on how you put it). Though my French language skills are pretty poor.

    1/4th French, with the remaining 3/4ths Belgian.

    I'd say my French is passable (though don't expect any oratorial or literary masterpieces either :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)

    What do you find so fascinating about French culture, by the way?

    I'm not French but can get by with the language. It's very fascinating, the culture. Then again, so is a lot of European culture in general.

    I've had French classes in high school for four years. Haven't properly spoke for at least 5 years now though, it's kind of rusty. But I think I can make myself understood if I have to... I'll probably mix it up with Spanish though :grin:

    Je ne suis pas française et je ne parle pas le français très bien. Clearly :slight_smile: I've only had 3 and a half years in school. And I'm only very distantly french. I did to to France when I was a baby, though! And my mom lived in Lybia as a child, so she and my uncles speak french.

    Well, nothing specific. I went to France one, and I fell in love with everything, the food, the arts, the history. I speak almost fluent French too. :slight_smile:
