I guess you guys have a reason to do French up there, but it's just the worst.
I've done lots of Duolingo. I'm not sure it's very effective, but it is fun.

I can read French reasonably well but I can't speak it very well.
I guess if you want to work for the government learning french is useful in Canada but I don't think it's a big deal anymore. People who were bilingual used to earn a lot more in Canada but that's not really the case anymore.

I suppose it isn't horrible to read. Every once in a while I'll come across a French quote and it is neat to be able to make some of them out. Speaking or writing, though, are a completely different story.

Yes when reading you can take your time and if you understand most of the words you can infer what is being said.
