An attempt at a proper post

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, i.e. before work went nuts on me, tx_cronopio asked me about the French language.

Are you fully bilingual, or is French something you have to work at?

The short answer to your questions is yes, and yes.

Here is the longer version. Be warned, there is a fair bit of patting myself on the back in here. So, you know, if you don't want to read my self-congratulatory crap, you can give this whole post a miss. :)
