Example:
You have the word 'The'.
In French you can use: 'Le', 'La', 'Les'.
Plus the fact that I've been speaking and using English more than my French in the past two years, I feel like it's not as good as it used to be. When I talk with my family or French friends, every sentense ends up having an English word in it. Sure, if I took the time to think about everything I said, it might come out better, but my writing skills have gotten even worse. For people that don't know French, it might look great, but to me, since I've always been around the language it looks horrible, lol.

If you're Canadian they acctually generally assume you're bi-lingual already, you have no idea how many people ask me if I can speak French. Blimy I'm from Alberta, I hardly speak proper english. XD
Unless you're applying for something like JET, just lie and say you're "Native"
if you think you can get away with it. Some places like GEOS have grammar tests but if you're already in Japan many ALT jobs (check gaijinpot) don't requite tests, but some profficiancy in Japanese.
