One problem.

If you learn current French, a francophone in Montreal won't understand you. The language in Quebec never evolved, while French in France did. The language in Quebec is stuck in the 17th Century.

Language is not rock solid, it constantly changes, words go out of fashion, change their meaning. English "steals" words out of other languages and uses them, unchanged.

If you got ahold of a time machine and went back to 1776, people would have a problem understanding you.
