Lol don't worry, my french is also tres terrible, so I'm hoping to brush up over the summer. I managed to order a coffee in French succesfully once, so that's a step I hope.
Though, I'm also unsure if I'll be heading over in September or sometime in June/July to start early in the lab, but it does feel like it's coming up real soon though if it's the latter! I keep hearing how amazing it'll be being there for the summer though.
