I'm curious, who here can understand french?
Understand a basic post/text in french, and/or people speaking it. Or even use it.

No, I'm not looking for silly comments like "is it a language?", or anything of that sort.

But.... ce n'est pas grave. :-D

I thought of doing that, but I felt there would be too much options with too few votes if it was precise levels.
My poll was general about it:
Average level to perfect.

Small level (small vocabulary and small practice but can do simple sentances)

Microscopic level (just few words, not more than 40-50 words)

No knowledge at all

I took it in high school and I only remember how to count to ten and how to say I surrender.

I used to have quite a large french vocabulary and knew how to somewhat sufficiently speak it. I can't anymore because of not practicing it very much. However, if given a paragraph in french, I could probably decifer it, it'd just take me a bit of time and some thinking :P

I had french in school for several years ... so I understand and can speak quite a bit. Writing it is harder as I'm bad at (french) orthography, especially with all these ´ ` ^ thingys :P
