I knew two members who understood French.  Both are gone.

Don't think anyone currently here does.

I can understand French ok when reading it. It's harder to listen to it. I understand what is written here and Nadire just provided the summary in English.

Some of us do. This video was released a couple of months ago and indeed tells their story. I wish a lot of people in this forum could understand French, Italian and Spanish. I frequently see questions that because of the English speaking culture (I'm generalizing) are hard to understand but make sense to someone from a former Catholic country. For instance, I've lived in tbe US for 20 years now and there is a tendency to give more weight to the letter of a statement than the spirit and context in which it was exposed by the messager. On the other hand, I must admit that is Latin countries you can find tbe opposite, acting by personal interpretation. Does it make sense?
