Oh good, glad the French version is still there. I was starting to go through it a couple of weeks ago and plan to continue starting this weekend. Although my mother tongue is English, at one point I was fluently bilingual (both Quebecois and actual French), and it's a chance to get some of it back while picking up information I've likely missed on less obvious features.
I can understand French well enough, but the more I hear it spoken the better. Reading/writing don't get rusty as easily. Of course speaking it would be even better, but I don't get many chances to do so in Toronto ☺.
