neither can you

chinks from Taiwan and Hong Kong actually can do this though

Only some grammar, if you want to understand texts clearly. Like, you can learn it in 1-2 weeks.

I can, at least we have something worth reading

If you're referring to Latin, please don't make me laugh. French is nowhere close to Spanish and Italian in being similar to Latin.
