Yep, French ranks up there in my book of difficult languages to learn,
along with English and Japanese. This is mainly due to exceptions in
conjugations and such, though with Japanese it's more the grammar.

Huh, you're the first non-native English speaker that I know to have said
that English is a nice sounding language. Some people say it's actually
quite ugly compared to some other languages in the world, particularly
Italian and French.

PS - While I haven't gotten around to learning French yet, I probably will
in the future. I already know Spanish, so I'm planning on adding the
Romance languages to my repetoire (sp?), along with German and some others.

Oh, and though this is as off topic as it gets, have you seen "La Cite des
Enfants Perdus" or "Delicatessen"? Those movies (particularly La Cite) are
what got me inspired to learn French. Gotta love Jeunet (sp?) and Caro. :)
