Step1, LOL... I often had friends complain about that when visiting Québec with their high school French, especially the gender (damn Latin root I guess) but seriously I'd tell them to use plural as much as possible. Made that simpler at least ;o) I guess it depends what level your teaching too. I was schooled in English and we spoke English at home. We are heavily Francophone in the extended family with many older folks speaking little English (of course some of those older folks spoke Chinese not French so that was always interesting). I learned while living with my grandmother first as a child. She spoke almost no English. Then I always seemed to work in French until moving to Toronto. Add a few French girlfriends to the mix ... My daughter goes to French school and I have no difficulty helping her yet but she is just nearing the end of elementary school. OTOH my written French leaves much to be desired and being native you're obviously talking more correct language usage than I can get away with in everyday circumstances. So I have to ask. How did you end up in Japan as a Francophone ? regards Kastel
