Concentrate on your assigned language. Bottom line - unless you speak one of the African dialects, your French is about useless for USSF purposes.
Side note to everybody reading this - expect new language guidance. Soon. The recent Army Times GAO article has aired dirty laundry and we're going to have to address the very real problems it discusses. Expect promotions and advanced schooling (the fun stuff) to depend on proficiency in your assigned language. You leave SWCS with a 1/1, you'd better show improvement at your next test. Decreased performance will probably start being reflected on efficiency reports. The bosses are dead serious about this (and I support them).

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
