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.
