The same with our Dutch, Belgian, German and Italian Elise friends who are also fluent, and often in each others languages as well. Although convenient for us that English is the World language, it also makes us lazy.

TUT,
i am not completely agree with you.
Every year when it's time for the 24 hours, i am surprised with all this English people who speak a very good French (not all of them
)
When i was young (much younger in fact) I was lucky enough to work as a cook in an American cruise ship for a year and then in a French restaurant in London for one year and a half.
My English is a little bit rusty but i am very pleased to "de rust" it with you mates, talking about cars is always a pleasure for me in any languages !
it is like talking with foreign people (especially girls), i love it. to prove it: my girlfriend is Spanish
And, believe me or not, you would be surprised about what you can do with French, English and Spanish language (by the way, the literary French translation of "language" is "tongue"), i am talking about go abroad of course !!!
