Cool. I studied French at school - from about 5-16, but I don't remember much. I can translate ok, like I can make out what you said, but speaking/writing is appalling. I was going to reply in very basic French, but I got a bit stuck!
I also studied Spanish and Latin. Any attempt to speak in either French or Spanish usually ends up a mixture of French, Spanish, Latin and English, depending on which words I remember from which language. I did try and keep up with my languages after I stopped studying but it didn't happen.
