Unfortunately that is the truth. I picked up some French in school and a good bit in Nova Scotia. After years of not using it I quickly realize how much I forgot when my grandparents starts talking to me. My parents never picked it up so I'm scrambling to learn as much as I can before they are gone. I hope to be able to pass some on to my son. He already LOVES Cajun music. The only way to calm him down is with Johnny Sonnier's "Chere Alice"
