Having taken holidays in France for almost 25 years it was only 3 years ago that we decided to take French lessons. We wish now that we had not waited so long. It has made such a difference to our holiday experience and has broken down that last barrier to moving over to France on a more permanent basis.
For us visiting France in the past has meant not doing things that you might have done because of the fear of the language barrier.
Now we don't think twice about going into a restaurant or cafe even if it it looks busy and we may embarass ourselves because we cant speak the language
This year we had a small car accident and managed to sort the situation out quite calmly with the very agitated French driver. Nothing really phases us anymore and the more time we spend over there the more confident we become with the language.
