Because I feel more comfortable teaching English?

French isn't all that hard to speak once you have the pronounciation of the letters and syllables correctly. That hard part is the grammar and how to spell every word. And also the meaning of the words, for example, for one English word, their could be up to 5 different words(or more) meaning the same thing in French.

Example:

You have the word 'The'.

In French you can use: 'Le', 'La', 'Les'.

Plus the fact that I've been speaking and using English more than my French in the past two years, I feel like it's not as good as it used to be. When I talk with my family or French friends, every sentense ends up having an English word in it. Sure, if I took the time to think about everything I said, it might come out better, but my writing skills have gotten even worse. For people that don't know French, it might look great, but to me, since I've always been around the language it looks horrible, lol.
