Thought I'd move to this thread!
I've yet to master the French too. I've been learning for a few months now and can understand a lot but I need to practice speaking more.
I would say lets meet up this weekend but I've managed to catch a cold! may still head to Pickwicks in Geneva for the England game friday night. May meet some brits there. I see on your profile your living in Ferney, that would be a nightmare to get to and from Geneva (I lived in Saint Genis for a few months). I wont be drinking so may drive. If your interested let me know.
