Yeah, they weren't forums dedicated to learning the language. I think that's the major mistake people do: trying to learn the language by .. trying to learn the language. They were forums dedicated to their specific topics, just in English (like electronics forums, social sciences, etc). One of the most frustrating things in our English courses is that whether it's 8th grade or college level, they all go back and start from scratch, with grammar and really basic sentences. That's like spending years going over the instruction set, or syntax of a language, instead of trying to do a meaningful project that interests you (I'm guilty of that, hence my lack of programming proficiency). Plus the fact it's daunting in the beginning, and you only regret that looking backwards: If only I started doing that seriously when I started 7 years ago, I would be great today. So finding an area that interests you (like really interests you to the point where you don't mind the hassle) but in another language. PS: It's "un peu". Peux is the verb "pouvoir" for Je and Tu, and "peu" is "little". But then again, you got the apostrophe spot on the money (which isn't that obvious, so kudos to you).
