English skills and FAA/JAA training

Hi everybody

I'm planning to do a training in US/Uk training centers.
Everybody knows that most of 'french' people don't have enough skills in foreign language.

Do you think i'm crazy to do my training in UK or the States (technical words, briefings, ground school).
For example when i listen to the live radio on the net, i understand approximately half of what the speaker says.
I think i can follow a conversation with one person.
But in the case of ground school, the instructor wouldn't decrease the speed because there's a guy between 20 students who doesn't have enough skills.

Before starting my training, will you think that one mounth of 'total immersion' is enough ?

I'm not interested in doing my training in France because English (or American) is the international language for all Professional pilot. In 2008, in JAA ATPL especially France, future pilots must have very good english levels.

Thanks for your replies / remarks.
