I really enjoy speaking in French to my gas station dude. He is from Algeria, where they speak Berber, French, and probably Arabic.
Here in California, I hear Spanish and Tagalog all the time. But I rarely hear French, the language I learned in High School in Chicago.
Are there languages you rarely use, but enjoy using when you get the chance?

No, but Spanish is so prevalent here, I understand some. I was talking to Chat GPT using a bit of Spanish the other day. My vocab is not very impressive though. I have studied French, in HS and college, but I never hear it, so I can't speak it. I was listening to a foreign movie the other day where French was the language. I didn't understand a word.
. Of course I might have if they were speaking slowly.

We have many rich languages. All are used in different areas of the country. Sanskrit is one of our classical languages. I'm now learning Sanskrit. It is a rarely used language, but there are a few people here who use it.I want to be able to talk to them in Sanskrit.

@TheHorse Sanskrit is one of the two oldest languages of our country. The other language is Tamil.

I've forgotten a lot of the French I learned in high school.

I'd enjoy using French more but it's not really likely to happen.

I stupidly took Latin in high school. The other choices were German (no thank you....too hard) and French. I should have taken French.
