Welcome to the forum @alluneedisjohn! 
AppleScruffJunior is Irish, so she probably doesn’t sound like the Queen at all — even if you don’t hear much of a difference between provincial English accents and posh ones, Irish and English are quite different accents.

I doubt it, mate. That ain’t a fair shake of the sauce bottle what you said. Like, seriously, that bottle has no more dead horse in it at all. None. Not even enough for a parma.

Give it time!! I got a bit disheartened at first but after the first month you start noticing a difference.
That being said it’s been a year and a half and I’m yet to feel like I’m fluent.

Yep.
Because the whole point is that it is a regional dialect – and what makes it Australian is that we say stuff that other English speakers wouldn’t understand.
(Yes I understand it’s said as a joke but this is what I study in my linguistics class)

Offline Jealous of all you language learning folks. I come from a very linguistic family (my sister speaks Spanish, French and German as well as some regional languages from south America) but the gift seems to have skipped me. Maybe I’ll follow Fiddy’s lead and start learning German (again, because I did study it at school)

Next year I have to switch schools and the Spanish curriculum is way faster there than it is at my current school, so I’m a bit worried, but I’m doing okay for now.

Me too! It’s such a great language. I’m also trying to learn Tamil, my grandparents’ first language, because I understand it but I don’t speak it very well.

Offline I’m currently in French III, but I don’t plan on continuing on to French IV next year. One, I want to make room in my schedule for some light electives so I can have an easier senior year outside of the four AP courses I plan on taking. Two, the curriculum’s pace is just too slow for me and its really easy for me to get bored in the class which leads to me zoning out which leads to the teacher having issues with me. There used to be Honors language courses, but my high school dropped those because of the number of kids signing up for them was too small. What a shame.
I do, however, plan on continuing with French in college and learning German, as well. But next year I’ll probably just freshen up with Duolingo from time to time like I do in the summers.

I love how two-months-ago-me was like “I’m not gonna take French IV because I want to take light electives” Pssshht, ignorant past-self, of course you’re taking French IV next year! (also, “light electives” are nonexistent to you now. You’re taking computer science, dummy). What a fool past me was to think that she could escape the French language!

I highly recommend that you learn French. It is confusing sometimes, but very worth it because of gorgeous it is! It will also be very useful in Montreal and a lot easier and effective to learn French in Montreal because of all the opportunities to practice in the real world! (Just a heads up though: there are some differences in vocabulary and etiquette in French spoken in France vs. French spoken in French-Canada)

and then a little of a few words here and there of other languages like French, French Cajun/Creole, Native American, Spanish, German, and American Sign Language.
French/French Cajun/Creole and Native American are due to where I grew up the gulf coast of the United States which had Native Americans before the French settled. As the British settled, followed by the Spanish, and finally becoming apart of the United States it became a mixture of words.
I learned Spanish and Sign Language in school; however, like the old saying goes if you don’t use it you lose it. Yup
My dad learned German when he was a teen and taught me a few words.
