Claudia, the girl who 
took me on as her flatmate and under her wing as my first ambassador to Europe, once asked me whether or not I ever dreamt in Italian. The question confused me, but she told me that one of her foreign friends had explained that this was a stepping stone in the adjustment to life in another language. It took me five months living in Pisa to catch myself dreaming in Italian. I've been in France now for just over six, but given all the English in my daily life here I felt pretty satisfied this morning to catch myself for the first time emerging from a dream en français.
