Over the last few weeks, Chris and I have been endeavoring to learn "un peu de Francais" through intensive classes at Berlitz. It has rapidly become evident that I was right when I dropped French after 2 years of High School!
It is fortunate that we are taking it together - between us (literally) we are almost able to make ourselves understood. She has the vocabulary and I have the accent!
In other words, she tells me what to say - and I say it! It doesn't sound so different from English.
It has also become evident that my knowledge of French is quite uneven. I am a beginner in general knowledge but a graduate student in menu and restaurant French. I may not be able to ask for directions but I will be able to eat well wherever I am lost.
