I unfortunately don't speak French, but my wife is now fluent in English, which really reflects rather badly on me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My wife and I have spent most of our lives in France, and we are both pretty well bilingual, my wife more purely than I, since as a little girl she went to school in French Switzerland.
I don't ever want to stop learning. And I really want to learn French fluently. It would be great to go and live in France.
I read French much better than I speak.
We spoke French at home and I didn't know any English until I went to school. My mother was French and met my father when he visited France as a student on a teaching placement.
My father's really fluent in French, but I can't speak at all. I actually took it twice in school already and failed both times!
By the way, the secret of speaking French is confidence. Whether you are right or wrong, you don't hesitate.
As for the French language, it's probably one of the most beautiful in the world. I speak a little bit and I can follow conversations, but I think it will take time to improve myself.
I was born in Paris, and my mother was a French teacher, but then I rebelled against my upbringing and studied Spanish in school. So now I just speak bad French and bad Spanish.
I speak French fluently, so that really helped.
My wife speaks very good French. She said she would miss lots of things in the U.S., but we can't live there if Trump's president.
