Very nice, I liked the comparison with children of different ages, it illustrated very well what our expectations in foreign languages should be!

Have you two debated in English? I’m curious because you said you struggled to explain concepts you could barely articulate in English.

Lol. Nope. No debates in English. I would destroy her. But I did realized that the concepts I would try to express, I would have a tough time expressing them in English as well. Its weird... and I cant really explain it. But some concepts I really only know in French.
