I got 39/40, which surprised me.  I can't speak worth a damn, but I know my grammar!

High five, Bud, that's really great!  How did you learn French? 

I went to a French school in NY for the first 7 years of school.  Then I took it in high school, but pretty much didn't learn anything new there, except for some literature.  Same for college.  Then I taught it at the middle school level.  But honestly, while my accent is pretty good, and I am also pretty good with grammar, I'm not easy with it.   The vocabulary and syntax I need does not often come easily to me. 

Now I'm thinking about getting up the gumption to start a homeschool French Club for beginning French for little kids.  If anyone knows of any websites with French games and skits and stories from brand new very young debutants, pass m my way, if you could.

I got a later start than you, 7th through 12th grades.  My 7-8th grade teacher was an ancient WWII Résistance fighter.  We called him "zee little Frenchman"; I was very fond of him.  He taught us songs and poems from his childhood in Le Havre, many of which I still know. 

I picked up a decent accent, and can read some, but am unable to converse beyond restaurant French.  I developed an ear for what "sounds right", which helped me with the quiz.

In a conversation, by the time I formulate a sentence, folks are on to the next topic!

Homeschool French club sounds great.

I got 30 out of 40. Rather embarrassing, since I minored in French...but in my defense, it's been seventeen years since I studied the language.

Oh well...c'est la vie!

Je suis francophone et je n'ai réussi que 38 bonnes réponses! 

Votre niveau est approximativement avancé - B2

Mes deux fautes étaient des erreurs de grammaire (j'ai ajouté des 's' à 2 réponses)

Mais au moins je n'y ai pas mis 20 minutes tel qu'on suggérait - j'ai terminé en (plus ou moins) 5 minutes
