Just today, I got stopped by 2 people who were asking for help. One was asking for directions (I think) and the other about a tram. I got to use my favorite French phrase: Je ne comprends pas (I do not understand), followed by Parlez-vous anglais? The answer to this question in both cases was no, so I was of little help to these people. This was unfortunate because I acutally know my way around quite well.
I've been practicing my French using CD's at home and whenever Rick and I take a road trip and it has definitely improved. I know a decent amount of words and can recognize items in the grocery store, on menus, etc. However, when I actually have to use the language to communicate with another person, I kind of fall apart. I'm still awaiting approval from Deloitte to start my French classes, which I am really looking forward to.
Ciao!
