Thanks, Michael, sounds like good advice....I had to show Washington to a couple of visitors from France about twenty years ago, for a friend. The wife had majored in English literature, and spoke excellent English, the husband spoke not a word. Sometimes he would ask something, or make a comment, and I would answer in English, with her translating. Sometimes I would answer in French. I was surprised at how much I could understand, actually: she rarely had to translate for me. But that was awhile back.....
