In school. Started in grade 4, then did late immersion starting in grade 7 and stuck with it through junior high and high school, took the DELF and got a nice scrap of paper saying I was bilingual. I have tried to keep it up with Duolingo, but it was way too repetitive for me. I basically just read the odd article or book in French now, or occasionally eavesdrop on people from Québec or New Brunswick when I go to the mall in the city.

Hi hawbeeists 😊 (like hobbyists, but Beehaw, get it?)
I came from Reddit. I like plants and animals and occasionally going hiking. I live in Atlantic Canada and am currently displaced by hurricane Fiona (still, after seven months), but the end is in sight and I should be able to go home soon! I have a BSc (major in Env. Sci.) and I like to draw digitally and play with string (crochet, knitting, etc.). I'm providing some 2D art to the upcoming free Steam game Jerma's Big Adventure 2, which has been an absolute blast to work on. I've mainly been playing Sea of Thieves and Diablo III lately. I'm also a lesbian and most likely autistic. She/her.
Edit: je parle français aussi, mais il faut vous dire que mon français est rouillé 😅
Same, haha! No notice of approval, but I was able to just log in after a bit. Happy to be here anyway, seems like a really nice place 😊
I've got nothing for a catchphrase, but Hawbeeists (hobbyists, Beehaw, y'know?) could be a fun name for us.
