Learning French

Since little, I’ve known enough English to read and write without much trouble. I haven’t got regular spoken conversations, so as of 2015 I’m a little awkward speaking, but can understand it pretty well. While a know I must continue improving it, I don’t want to stop there, as there are other interesting languages I’d like to learn.
