It's always beneficial to learn another language. J'aimerai beaucoup une grande verre de jus de fruits avec vodka

One of my minor difficulties is that I had three years of French in school, and a short course in German in the 80s. So when I try to think of a word, my brain helpfully pops up French or German possibilities that don't really help. (Yes, I did understand your reply!)

We use erasable marker boards for answering questions. Last night one thing we did was try to use variations on a common verb in a sentence. (I write mine in Spanish, of course.) So for this one, we used 'to drink'. My answer here says: "I want to drink a glass of juice -- with vodka."
