@samurai007: I don't think my accent is very thick. Actually, I often get questioned about my nationality, because people can't figure out where I come from. My accent is there, but it's small and it will only ever show up on a few words I might still have trouble with. My english "only" friends tease me about that, hehe.
@jasonbvr: Being bilingual has only been positive for me at the moment, so I guess that would make a lot of sense. Ahah, french is hard. But if you know how to pronounce the japanese letters (especially e and i) than it could turn out to be easier for you. My french is far from being perfect, because there are so many rules and specific little things all over the place. I was good when I was in high school and college, but I've been out of school for two years now, so I haven't really been practicing(my writing that is!).
@MMM: Well, I was asking this because when I graduated from High School, one of my application to college got rejected because my mother tongue was french. Even though I went and passed a test, they insisted that my english wasn't good enough and suggested I take two years to improve it. Considering that I always had 90%+ grades in my english class in High School, I didn't feel like wasting my time there. (And that's the story of my life! Lol)
