Why I didn't learn French in France
Jimmy's experience trying to learn the language while hanging out in France ... A fun article !
Often, just spending time in a country does not help that much in picking up the language, unless you already have a basic foundation. I typically build that foundation by listening to audio and watching videos in the target language before traveling !
