Oh no! You want me to die! When I read the posts from this list, my brains
switch to English and I'm nearly unable to speak in French (I must switch
back to French). And when I speak of French in a post in English, I
consider it nearly as a foreign language! That's why I sometimes have
difficulties to find out good words and to explain myself: I don't have the
vocabulary in English, but I also can't find out the French words that I
could use, because my brains have switched to English! I have the same
problem with Spanish and Japanese. That's also why I have so many
difficulties in trying to translate anything from one language to another.
