There was a little footnote in my mail ;) You've been learning French for 7
years?!?!?! I started in 7th grade, this makes four years up to now. And
we're quite finished with grammar. But I've got only little practice and am
lazy concerning learning my words (I know :|) -- so my French is not that
good. I don't need French in everyday life since the biggest part of the
internet is in English.
