Why is French so weird?

I am not sure it's "weird," but it is certainly different from English. People who are comfortable with their own language often find a foreign language confusing, and that's a very normal reaction. Also, some languages are more difficult than others to learn (French at least has the same alphabet that English does; but if you were trying to learn Chinese or Hindi, you would have to learn an entirely different way of writing).

Each language has developed differently and changed over time: languages have their own grammar, their own vocabulary, their own slang, even their own bad words. French grammar is somewhat different from English, especially when it comes to gender (all nouns have gender-- even tables, books, and Musical Instruments); and there are verb endings in French that English does not require. But once you learn the rules, a foreign language like French will begin to make more sense. So, while French may seem difficult, it's actually an interesting language to learn and well worth the time, because it will help you to understand another culture.

French may seem strange to you because it has different grammar rules, pronunciation challenges, and cultural nuances compared to English. Remember that every language has its own unique characteristics, which is part of what makes them interesting and diverse. With practice and exposure, French can become more familiar and understandable.
