As with all foreign languages, start with the expletives, it tends to be easier. 😛

The only french i know is the stuff on packaging here 😉
well. i can understand some simple phrases i guess. written is better though.
where would you want to go? if it's not quebec, you don't need it.
even in quebec.. everything is still labeled in english and french, and i think you'd be hard pressed to find someone that doesnt know at least basic english. I guess if you want to learn, get a french girlfriend in quebec. girlfriends seem to teach language the best 😉

90% of french speaking individuals speak english very well.
However, in many places (Quebec for instance) the people who speak french usually won't speak to you in English unless you at least TRY to talk in French.
I took 5 years of French in school, and although I'm pretty rusty at it now, it's easy to learn vocabulary, but hard to learn forms of verbs and such. They have a different form of verb that is dependant on audience/subject that can be a bit much to tackle on your own.
Whether you are looking to become fluent in French or just looking to be able to understand what is going on, if you are doing it alone memorize as many nouns as you possibly can. Then you may want to consider some French classes at a community college or something to start tackling speech and proper usage of verbs.

almost majored in french....until i got to the upper level classes where everyone is a native speaker and you spend your time analyzing french literature...then i said forget it.
now, i really wish i took spanish instead. much more valuable here.
both spanish and french are fairly similar though, not too difficult to learn, but being fluent in it takes a little work.
