RE: Dinner in France, Paris - Tasty Roasted Snail "Escargot" at "Les AMOURS"

Je ne parle pas francais!!! Mais non, je parle un peu:
Oui, non, merci, et escargot.

I studied it in private school when I was a snotty little private school kid, but when that school closed my French lessons ended. Tried again in high school but high school isn't for learning, it's for enduring. Now I only remember a little bit. I can read a little, thanks to knowing Spanish.

Wow, that's amazing because I didn't learn any other languages, unfortunately. I remember you told me you are fluent in Spanish...

Welllll, I was pretty much fluent once upon a time, like broken-fluent. But I haven't used it in years. If you dropped me in Mexico or Spain I'm sure it would come back. I love languages, and tend to pick them up quickly, but I have to be immersed in them for that to happen. Not many hispanohablantes here in Portland. And even less who speak French!

I see, well that's actually nice that you at least know the key languages...
