Language teachers terms: BICS - Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills. you speak the language well enough to shop, play on the playground, ask directions home. CALP - Competent Academic Language Proficiency. You need CALP to go to university in a foreign language. If you're close you'll probably make it. Remember, the lectures will be in French. The accents of the professors could be varied. If you can handle that - go for it!
