I've taken five years of French. Today, I handed my teacher a short essay, which I'd tried to write without any errors. She found a mistake at least every other sentence. My point is, writing in another language ain't easy. I probably spent twenty-odd minutes writing two paragraphs, and someone from france would struggle to understand what I was saying.

On the other hand, I often have trouble understanding other Americans' French, much more than Frenchmens'. So some effort, especially upon the part of native speakers, might go a long way here.
