It was! It used to be that once you'd passed Eng Lang, that was it!
Now it's been dumbed down to such a degree that aspects are for A level.

When I had my interview for French nationality, it was all about communication. Did I understand? Could I reply? How many French friends did I have in comparison to Brits? How often did I go back to the UK? It's all about integration FFS.

The list is endless!

Exactly. My written French is greatly aimed by apps! But spoken is excellent!

Mate, a lot of them don't even have a primary school command of English!

A tiny bit! I didn't sleep well at all, no idea why. I feel if I could just get a really good night, that would put the lid on it! 🤞🤞🤞 We have a wedding on Saturday, the youngest of our "French" family. Need to be fit! Thank you so much for asking!

I recently found a mutual support group for J-Pouchers like me. I've had mine for 12yrs now & so much was just OK, it is what it is. Its SO interesting hearing how others manage their lives & heartening to realise I'm really lucky in as much mine works so well. Judging when to go out is everything!
