Speaking French

Last night, I attended a French Meetup at Vol de Nuit on West 4th & 6th Avenue in NYC-- a bustling Belgian venue. Five minutes in the door, and I promptly order a Stella Artois and frites. Three hours of animated conversation passed during which I received several positive comments on my accent and my ability to speak French. I felt pleased with myself, mais... I am always striving to sound 100% French. Even when I am translating documents from French to English and vice versa, or sharing my knowledge of the language with others, I still strive harder and harder to elevate my skills in the language I love most!
