Re: French... too difficult to learn
Well the verbs are sucky, yes.
Also, languages simply don't need gender.
In Russian, why is "brother" female?
Remmy be pimpin' in BJ, yo!

Re: French... too difficult to learn
I was like that when I just started.
It will get better.
As for pronunciation, I personally think it's important for you to grasp 'r' and use it in the words. I can pronounce 'tres' in a briefly correct way after being taught/laughed at the whole weekend. But you are right, as a non-English speaker, it's easy to get confused at the beginning.
I attend l'AF too. It's good.

Re: French... too difficult to learn
Why not all speak primitive Chinese then? No gender, even no tenses!
And fyi, it's not female. You were misinformed.

@zan00789,
I think the French language follows strict and discoverable rules when it comes to the Pronunciation. As soon as you grasp the rules, it is quite easy compared to the English language. you can pronounce every single word you come across just by looking at its spelling, generally.
Unlike the English language, heaven knows whether there are rules of greatly handy generality in English pronunciation.
Back to the French language.
The tough cake should lie in grammar. Verbs are okay, there are also rules in conjugations of French words, you will grasp them as long as sufficient practices are taken.
I think it should be of great help if your English is at a high level, because those two have a lot in commom regarding vocabulary and stuff.
Just read more and figure it out.
Good luck with your French course.
At the end of your life, you regret the stuff you didn't do more than the stuff that you did.

Re: French... too difficult to learn
Oh well, I am not surprised you find it difficult especially if you have learned English before. Prounounciation, grammar, writing, you name it: everything is sort of complex. Also Chinese people tend to take English and it's alphabet as the source of Western languages but guess what? It's not. On a positive note, if your English is good and you have plenty of vocab knowledge, that will help since it is said at that at lease 60% of the English language derived from French but yet people will tell you the most influencial language was in fact German as English and German belong to the same language family. That is arguable I think since when I teach French I sometimes find it easier to compare English and French sentence structures or vocabulary.
Apart from English, a lot of languages af conjugations and declensions. I learned Spanish and it is not a big deal for me and Italian is not that hard to understand. Now of course being Chinese will not help in learning any other languages (am I right?). Good luck to all of you to learn English and possibly an other language
You live you learn.
