Fluent? Ha.
So I know that I live in Montreal and that the city is bilingual and everything, but I don't really use french all that often, and if I do, it's reading signs or menus or simple conversational french. That being said, I am now doing reserach in French. And reading Voltaire in French isn't exactly what one would call easy. However, reading about him and his heart and phallus being excited by his niece is pretty entertaining. Yea incestuous relationships!
