And that's why I still can't speak French. I never go there. My German is generally horrible, except at the end of the holiday. It'll be barely passable then. My English, which I used for a full year while staying in the States, is practiced a lot. Foreign series are subtitled, I read 99.9% of my books in English, (the other .1% is Dutch), and I'm a software developer who uses microsoft products.
