No one said you couldn't get a license in France. But I'm impressed everytime I have to take my car in to the shop that there are so many "car words" I have no idea of. Had to have the gasket thingee on one of the doors replaced - any idea what that is in French? How about the little warning lights on the dash?

What I really need to do is spend a good half an hour with a dictionary every time I take the car into the shop. But usually I just head over there and point and gesture to get the message across. Only problem is that, if the mechanic has to do that, he loses credibility pretty quickly with the customer.
Cheers,
Bev
