Abs is probably a better authority on this than me, but i believe it would be:

woot! 6 years of required french classes and i properly pronounced a word!
Although I did have to tell my friend to stop speaking french on msn last night bc i couldnt figure out if she was telling me that she could go to a concert with me or couldnt. You win some, you lose some! |
