Hopefully I'll be off to Cambridge if I get the grades! I'll be studying Russian ab initio, so I want to make sure my French is really good so that I can focus on it. It makes me feel a bit better to hear that I probably won't be the only one who isn't fluent though!
I've managed to find a relatively cheap Intensive course (£400) in Chambéry which looks beautiful - somewhere in the French Alps! Thanks for the link!
