French is making my English better

Le français est faire mon l'anglais mieux.
And no, it is not because English has borrowed many words from French.
I try and repeat the last sentence I spoke in French - often in my mind, and sometimes in front of friends. In order to ensure I can do this, I try to keep the last sentence short and simple. And I find that this helps me with my English language skills too.
You see, if communication is the main purpose of a language, then keeping it short and simple should be the goal. That's it. C'est ça.
