To be honest, I'm not that interested in learning French. But I'm just curious, for non-native French speakers, how difficult was it for you to learn it?

I have a hard time even trying to make out the way to speak. It sounds like sort of gibberish or mumblings (No offense intended). Other languages like German are still possible for me to listen to. I can at least make out the sounds. French is nearly impossible for me to even listen to, let alone understand.

I translated this text from German into French and maybe someone could check it?^^

Si je pouvais vivre ma vie encore une fois, j'essayerais de faire plus des fautes dans la prochaine vie. Je ne veuille pas être parfaite, je relaxerais plus. Je serais un peu plus fou que j'avais été, je prendrais beaucoup des choses moins au sérieux. Je ne vivrais pas si saine. Je voagerais plus, regarderais plus des couchers du soleil, ferrais plus de l'escalade, nagerais plus dans les rivières.

Hello everyone! 

I have noticed that some English learners opt to take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) in order for them to determine their skills in the English language. A failing mark usually encourages them to study more while a passing mark tells them that they have already learned English very well.

What do you think about these tests? Do you think they're effective in determining how much a person knows about the English language?

Do you prefer British English or American?

For me, it's definitely British English. It just sounds classier and more sophisticated to me.
