Scary AustinI've helped fellow travelers in fluent French, okay Spanish, and even my sketchy Russian, but I will never be as badass as this person.
Flippin' 'eck, Tucker!@MaryAustinBooks A good demonstration of how rather like today English is a lingua franca so once was Latin. Ironically, French has never had that status!
Oblomov@losttourist @MaryAustinBooks French absolutely did have its time, largely between the 18th and 19th centuries
@oblomov @MaryAustinBooks Yep, so I have found out. Every day is a school day on Mastodon 😄
