yknow i dont understand why some schools insist on students learning more than one foreign language (or maybe i should say ‘not-native’ language) and then expect everyone to be able to separate them

in one school i had to learn chinese and french side-by-side, which didnt go very well, but at least they were different enough for me to differentiate, but then in another i had to deal with french and polish, one class immediately after the other, and i got laughed at when i answered ‘tak’ to a question in french as if that was weirdest and dumbest thing they’d ever heard

that was suitably embarrassing for little!me, but me!me wonders what exactly those teachers even expected?
