Now that I speak French much more on a daily basis, I too might want to just come and speak English. Sometimes there is nothing like speaking your language with other native speakers, even if I don't get porkies and such right away. Right now when I speak English it is usually with non native speakers and I have to make an effort to make myself understood, sometimes just as much as if I just spoke in French. Anyway, I am coming back. I know but sometimes I find it hard to fit it in. Now that I speak French much more on a daily basis, I too might want to just come and speak English.

When I try to get people to speak French they roll their eyes and say they'd like to just sit and chat in English. We need to gang up on them and make the French exchange happen! :) No, that’s precisely why you have to keep coming back.
