I've been encouraged and approached to learn to speak French. Some people have asked me, “Why didn't you ever learn to speak French”? I speak Italian, so when I was hired, I was hired for my Italian. I fully recognize that my not learning French has somewhat held me back from certain positions that I wanted, such as training or this or that, but that was my decision. There have been opportunities for me to learn French, but I've had my focus elsewhere.
