After almost 2 years of stagnation, in spite of the fact that I currently have a decent job, I'm finally back in school. But I'm left with a question whether to compromise or to stand firm with my ideologies. I'll be learning French and I hate it but I have to. Among the Romance Languages, Française is the least that I like. I would definitely disagree that it is the language of love. I've been constantly learning Spanish for more than 2 years now. I do have problems with my listening skills especially when conversing with native speakers. Each Hispanic country has their own accent, their own way of expressing things of the same Spanish of Spain. Being a Filipino, Spanish is something that is ours. I could never forsake the Hispanic portion of my culture. It made my identity complete in all areas. It is my dream to teach it to my offspring and pass it on to their children. It is my delight to see them enjoy the novels and poems of our great revolutionary heroes in the language of Cervantes, how it influenced our local dialects and how it became unique from the other. For now, Française it is.. to comply for 'future' purposes. Somehow I know it's going to be fun because I'll be learning a new language with a cousin, my ex's ex (LOL), 2 of my cousin's friends and a grade school/high school classmate. Yes, photos.. soon.☺
