Our children continue to impress us with their language skills. Once we left Paris we noticed that the ability to speak English diminished the farther we drove south. This was no problem for us because the kids were able to communicate very well. Occasionally, there were issues with pronunciation or accent but generally the kids did great. It is so funny how a shop keeper will start talking to Rod or me and then once the kids start talking to them they totally ignore us. Interestingly, it seems to be the older generation that is more apt to be able to communicate in English.
When we were in Marseille we found a Nike store (all of those who know Rod are not surprised, right?). One of the sales staff that was helping Logan came over to Rod and I and told us how well Logan spoke French. Of course, Logan had to translate this for us so we are taking his word for it.
