They were too lazy to teach us.


Was thought of as a favor. Speaking French was punished, and it was viewed as a sign of ignorance.

Damn shame. I wish I knew how to speak it. I just know some cuss words

My grandparents spoke Cajun French but didn't teach their children or grandchildren because they used it to talk in front of the kids without any of us knowing what they were saying. It's a little disconcerting to hear your name spoken in the middle of a conversation you have no clue about.
