aaaaahhhhhh ... you're taking me back to high school. We didn't actually learn how to SPEAK French, we just learned the grammar and how to conjugate verbs (I haven't heard the term "reflexive verb" since grade 12.). I couldn't actually hold a conversation until I lived in a place where I had to .. and my first few months were worthy of the Bugger Am I Drunk thread, where my best French was spoken after learning a few of their drinking games!
