I figured this would have been answered before, I did a search and did not see it from what I can tell. Sorry if this is a repeat.
I was wondering if those people who have gone through the 7 month Officer french training, how they found their French after the training? 7 months is not a long time to get a handle on any language. Did you learn enough that you were comfortable talking to people, and could function? What was your french language knowledge prior to the CF language training?
I have almost no French. Well, I had classes in grades 4-6, but I can't say I remember much besides simple phrases.
I took German all through the rest of my school career, and I also know Dutch. So I have experience learning other languages and I hope I can pick it up fairly fast. But knowing essentially no French, would it be wise -- or rather, would it be essential for me to get myself into a french language course while i am waiting for my application? Or will it be safe to just wait for the CF language training?
