But funnily my experience in your (c3p0's) country is that with the language groups, the tables are turned. While the French and to a degree the Italians have this reputation of not caring for foreign languages, in Switzerland it seems to me that the French and Italian speaking communities are more comfortable in English than the German speakers.

I'm also much more comfortable with English than French. My French is, a least, a little rusry and I doubt it would be enough for even a small shopping trip.

I have been told several times (and I agree with this theory) that it is due to the way foreign languages are taught at school in France: we focus much more on the grammar than on speaking. When speaking, the teachers will focus on each mistake you do, instead of praising the fact that you said something understandable (which is the basis of communication).

That approach, from my experience,is very typical. It was the same when I've learned my second and third language. I think it depends on what your goal is (becoming a interpreter or simple survive a holiday there). Yet, for typical school situation I wouldn't know how we should do it. Been corrected every second word, doesn't help, but speak "garbage" the whole time and then need to unlearn your train mistake isn't really better.
Best reason to learn a language is to have a good motivation and as a young teen, young or not young adult you often lack those.

It makes sense in some way.

So the results are:
1) Learning foreign languages is boring for young students, so in the end they suck at grammar AND speaking
2) Much people (especially the oldest ones) are ashamed of trying to speak in foreign languages, because they fear to do it improperly.

Never mind that back in my day the start of learning languages was off. These days it is way earlier, but I started French at the same time when I became interested in the bulges at the front of my female classmates - and guess what deserved more attention?

French is not a race my dude.

Sorry my dude, I should have said 'based on stereotypes' then.

2 days left...

1 more day to go! The update is gonna come in tomorrow

Also, my apology if I interrupt the current conversation! Couldn't help doing the countdown everyday with the feeling of over-excitement as the update is coming closer

And you're more than welcome to do it. I prefer talking about the game rather than my shortcomings in English

That's just a different concept of what is racism. There is no black race, white race, etc... in French. It's more about ethnicity/nationality. Race is a very very very very very very..... offensive word when used for people in French.

That's more so how Europe views differences in people. It's not about skin colour, it's about ethnicity/nationality.

Whereas in America, everything is viewed through skin colour and race.

Sorry about that my Gallic friend. I wasn't expecting for my comment to ignite a debate like this.

Never have I got so many reactions for my post before. Thanks so much, everyone
Tbh I've been preparing for this since last March before the update release has been announced. So it might not make sense for the "Staff Training storyline" to be here at the last 2 pics since there'll be only the first half of it in the coming update, unfortunately! But still it's worth enough for me to post it here

According to discord it's probably 15 min. til Patreon-Release. This does of course not mean, it will drop here anytime soon.
