Yeah but I think that "speaking" is much more appropriate in this case. Maybe I'm wrong

Yes, what is your point, here? I said that a lot of people here think they're bilingual, then I said that I don't consider myself bilingual but almost fluent, but since I speak english more fluently than some people who consider themselves bilingual, they just consider I should say I am bilingual... which I'm not.  

 
I dont think (now I thought about it ) it's so much more appropriate but, because I'm no pro, I won't argue

 
And now for something completely different :

No way, they weren't in France (the Metropolitan part ).

 
So it's talking in english then

So for you there's no way to be drunk some night and to write some english trash perfectly the day after ?

 
That's not compliant

 
Are you asking for sex ?    
 
Prodigy

 
No i'm asking for the right to speak english like a tired man

SPEAK§§§§§

 
Who said "talk" ?

You little scoundrel

 
Weasel !

i was raised in an english speaking country and my native language (or mother tongue? i never know which one to use) is english, but I then came here in Belgium (@ about 4 years old), growed up in a French-only speaking life, and almost totally forgot my english. My parents often told me that the last time they heard me speaking english was when I said "oouaaaah, the big wave!!!!" a couple of seconds before being smashed by it.
 
It never came back after then.
 
*sorry for my poor english* (this is my signature on almost every english net-forums )

According to the job ads, it's "mother tongue".
 
It's really a pity for you...

 
But the pity comes while you're eating  
 
Prodigy

a pity? why? It is much easier to learn english than french, believe me!
 
I know my english is not perfect (re-learned on the web and during some vacations) but I can live with that. My clients and non-french-speaking-friends understand me, and I could easily spend my life in an english-speaking country.
 
But, I have to agree, I miss San Francisco a little bit...

Pathetic, wasn't it ?
 
Prodigy

Never went there, I really want to

srslsdr (se roulant sur le sol de rire)

A pity as in "c'est dommage"... Having english speaking parents and ending with a non bilingual level, it's quite a waste...
My cousins are half French and half American, their parents do their best to help them acquire a mothertongue level in both languages. It's not always easy, but they're pretty successful...

 
you'll burn in hell for that shame on you, shameless one

 
that's so cliché ! English fundamentals are quite easy to acquire, but when it comes to really master the language, I'd say than they're more or less of equal difficulty.

Were there that many mistakes?

none I could see, but from what I've understood (not much, as usual), you should be more fluent than a spanish cow
 
What I meant was that given the opportunity you've had, well, what a darn waste  
 
Or maybe I'm totally mistaken

My father was born in Asnières, my mother in Melun, they speak English like Nelson Monfort, without the vocabulary I just shagged an Englishman for three and a half years, that's not exactly the same

Most people here can't write french without mistakes anyway
 
They still might be bilingual : their english is as bas as their french  

 
soooo british
 
Ok, then I assumed too much
 
anyway, shagging may be the best way to improve your oral skills, but I'm afraid it's not eactly in the most appropriate way
