merde!

It's surprising how three hours of French doesn't even make me blink.

But thirty minutes more, from 4-4:30, sweating over a sermon from Evreux, with someone whispering about forty feet away, and my comprehension of the grammar draining out of me till all I'm doing is translating word-by-word...

That last thirty minutes has me wanting to stab the dictionary. Tipping point much?

Yeah, for your purposes the English to French would be a bit surperfluous. I still swear by my AMSCO, but I suspect that a)it's no longer in print and b)it doesn't have the depth of vocabulary you'd need for specialized translation.

Eight weeks isn't too bad though. Just remember, ne...que isn't negative (it's only) and you'll be fine. :)
