Also, in terms of writing in French rather than in English, while French uses more words, and longer one, to say the same thing, there are just some moods, things or expressions that communicate that much better in one language rather than the other. I don't know if you've ever witnessed multilingual people having a conversation, switching back and forth between them, because some things are better communicated with a certain French expression despite the fact that they'd been speaking English a moment before, for example...
