So how do *you* learn a language?

Oui, Phill n' a plus une femme. Et son français est très bon. Il est très capable dans la cuisine aussi, n'est ce pas? Ensuite, il est intelligent et gentil. Et la Belgique, c'est ne pas si loin, en outre il habite a l'ouest. C'est parfait! Seulement, il n'ose pas le proposer.

Let's see, again without any kind of aid ... Yes, Phill [something] a woman. And your French is very good. You are a very good cook as well? Additionally, you are intelligent and gentle. And the Belgian is not [something], and outer [something] [live/house?]. It's perfect! [Something] the proposal.

How did I do?

I could use a dictionary to get the rest but for now I want to see how far I can manage on my own, get a better feel for how my understanding works.
