In this context it is "opportunity".

Err...kudos to him for tyring, but he's constantly asking for translations of English words ;-)
Yeah, but why bother learning a dying langauge? Hell they even have to ban words to protect it.

did, not that that is saying a whole lot.
His French is OK, much better than a couple of years ago. Sure, he is making a lot of small
mistakes, but that doesn't matter. He is completely comprehensible and quite capable to express
his opinions.Benjo Maso

Lance's French this year seems to be worse than it was last year, more mixed up with his Spanish,
since he's now based in Girona I guess. Anyway, I notice that his French is much worse AFTER a stage
than before it. Not surprising.It's much more difficult to speak a foreign tongue during/after situations of stress. I knew my
French had reached a profficient level when I could yell at boneheaded motorists and pedestrians
in French, without having to think of the words to say. (Happens a couple times a week while
riding in Paris.)
