I'm a native French speaker.
I can speak English, but in no way could I write or read it.
I studied German for 3 years, but I've forgotten most it.
According to the poll, French is rightfully at the second place

Dutch, English, German, Portuguese.. in that order of fluency. I am reasonable at Spanish (sometimes becoming Portuñol), and all the years of French I had to take, did not pay out.

The translation of those French philosophers and theorists required for elevation into English has negated the need to know French in order to elevate the mind to a new level of universal understanding, thank you. Besides, after Camus, it's pretty much all bull____.

You lost so much in translation... Beside, it's not only that. It's a well known fact that the use of the French language activate some parts of your brain, and will make you smarter, while English only make you dumb. That's what I meant about "elevation of the mind to a new level of understanding of the universe": the language itself can do that, not simply reading what has been said by French people of the past.

Since puberty I've been trying to understand the language women use, but so far I've only picked up a few phrases. 
Well, the simple fact that you, and English speaker, who do not speak French asks the question is a clear proof that English makes you dumb and prevent you to reach such level of enligthnment, while as for a French speaker like me its obvious, is an evidence the French language is greatly superior to the English one.
