Parlez vous français?

Dang you tower of Babel! (insert shaking of fists) How much easier it would be if the entire world spoke the same language. :) Alas, I know God's plan is better than ours. Learning to speak a foreign language at 29 is trés difficile. I mean, right now, I don't even know if I used the right accent mark on that "e". And, there are about 4 different ways to say "this/that" depending on if the noun is feminine or masculine/singular or plural. Same with my, her, his, our, your, etc. Trying to figure all that out while trying to pronounce the words correctly (with a strong southern accent, no less) all while working with a very limited french vocabulary compounded with social anxiety (which exists even when speaking in English) results in sweat beads and waves of nausea. Exit pride. Enter humility. Nevertheless! I am so excited and thankful for this opportunity the Lord has given us. Give my kids a month or two and they can be my own personal translators, right? :)
