English is my mother tongue, French is my second language. I was put into the French Immersion program by my parents. I had the choice in grade 11 to drop out (at this point you only need four more credits to finish it, so it is kinda pointless to drop out then). It is nice to have since where I grew up is about half and half. Plus my maternal grandmother's family can all speak French. Some of them only can speak French. It also helps that I know French since I am currently living in a province whose main language is French, though where I live use French only at the grocery store and when asked for directions. Oh, I swear in French almost as much as I do in English.

As for my French, it is not the best but it is not the worst. For the most part, it is not bad. It started to decay while I was in High School, since basically you get reduce from almost all your courses in French to one course per semester in French. That and the teachers tended not to overly force us the speak French (as in when we work in groups and such), though sometimes they did, we still spoke English anyways, or at least when the teacher was around. I was told over the break that my French is improving. I have no problems with comprehension though, with the exception of unfamiliar words. My French is only horrible when you really catch me off guard. As in over the Christmas break I was called from the living room to use the phone (which they already had ringing) to ask about a piece of property that they saw for sale. -__-; My French was horrible at that moment.

EDIT: I used to watch Card Captors in French because we did not get the English channel that had it. :/
