I have discovered that for me, speaking french is like speaking Shakespeare. It takes a while to get your ear in tune and your tongue into gear, but once you do, a glorious world of meaning and elocution opens up in front of you...
Unfortunately, with both Shakespearean and french, the results last longer than the required duration of usage... i.e. I end up using words of ridiculous length for days after reading Shakespeare, and I am still automatically saying 'Bonjour' and 'Merci!' instead of 'Hello' and 'Thank you' ... and french is most definitely not my first language.
What?!?
