Je n'ai pas oublié toute la langue française

Other than a few "queue" jokes here and there, I haven't spoken much French since I got back from Switzerland. This is completely my own fault. I just get in the habit of speaking English with the people I could be speaking French to, and find it hard to switch. But the other day, I got together with a brand-new French friend, and got off on the right foot. I hadn't lost as much as I thought. Aside from a second or two of confusion when I thought he said something about breakfast sex (he was really talking about a business breakfast), I understood what he was saying, and I seemed to be making sense as well. Unless he was just nodding and smiling and humoring me, which is perfectly possible. He even said he liked my accent. Now, there could be a few reasons for him saying this that have nothing to do with my accent actually being good, but I choose to believe that he was impressed by my excellent command of the French language. It felt good to listen and speak the language again. I need to do things like this more often.
