Dreams

I often find when I go away on holiday to a French-speaking country that I tend to start dreaming in French as well. Normally this happens during my holiday, although occasionally it happens afterwards. I’m not fluent in French by any means, not even close, although I speak it well enough to get by without needing to carry a phrasebook around with me and well enough that I rarely have people reply to me in English. Clearly there is a part of my brain which has absorbed and is able to understand more of the French language than I realise.
