I can get by but i dont think i'm anywhere near a full on conversation in French, which is what i'd like.

How fluent is your Spanish Tony must be coming along nicely now Wink

The Spanish are very family orientated....it's lovely to see.
Unlike 90% of the cunting Brits.

The true test of fluency is not so much if you can converse but if you can argue in a language. I've been in that position and it is on occasion solely down to immersion in a language you've learnt to what you might think as only a rudimentary level. People forget that spoken language uses a very small register and as a rule isn't as daunting as it seems.

this is 100% true.

i was struggling along with chinese for over a year and thinking i'd never get there, until one night i was caught out in a bar of ill repute. nothing had happened and i was being set up as an easy mark. suddenly, everything i'd learnt came surging forth and i was able to argue my case with clarity.

being polite is well and good, but calling someone a cunt and defending yourself is natural behaviour.
