    Man French was so difficult for my brain to parse. The word genders felt so silly/arbitrary that it never stuck, which is hilarious given the context of … English, but omfg did it not gel with me.

      Yeah the general lack of gendered nouns is one of English’s better traits, even if most of our words are bastardized words from other languages.
