Wrote a postcard in French for a French friend recently and it was weird how much came back to me. I had to look up a couple of vocab words and verb conjugations, plus whether to use "pendant" or "depuis", but otherwise it was okay?
I am sure my French pal will criticise every mistake though :D
@astronomerritt They must. Failing to do so could cause them to be a social outcast. Repeat failures could cost them their citizenship.
@alan Exactly. And they're Parisian as well, so this goes double.
@astronomerritt OMG, to be exiled in the provinces, is there anything worse?
