>To help a bit getting you fluent without too much study: Buy some books while you're over there. Nothing very difficult. Things that are of some interest to you. eg buy some books of Harold Robbins in French. And if possible, the ones that you have read in English. Read a couple of pages every night. If there's something you do not understand, read on. You'll understand it a couple of days later

PMFJI,
Are you suggesting not to lookup every new word in a dictionary but instead to get the meaning intuitively?
"The creative process is nothing but a series of crises." Isaac Bashevis Singer
"My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all." Oscar Wilde
"If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too." W.Somerset Maugham
