According to the person who wrote http://www.zompist.com/frenchcult.html, your French if:

-You consider newspapers, radios, tv's, a unreliable source of information.
- "You like football (strangely called soccer in some curious countries that call some ugly version of rugby, where players are allowed to attack players who don't have the ball with them, football), tennis (whose players are called tennismen), basketball (no question of the NBA, of course)" ~ "zompist"
- There are five vacation weeks in your year.
- If you believe in God you are: a Catholic, a Muslim, a Protestant or a Jew. (most to least)
- "You don't consider insects, dogs, cats, monkeys or guinea pigs to be food-- but snails, frogs and horses are."
- A BATHROOM doesn't have a toilette in it. Toilets are found in the Toilettes. 
- "Trains are good, especially the TGV (the one Americans won't build in Texas, because they strangely don't want to spend a single public dime on it). But you regret that the SNCF (the French train company) pays less attention to small lines, which cannot make any profit, because there are too few passengers."
- You know there are six political parties in France.
- "You find Americans ridiculous, if not stupid or dangerous, with their primary reflex to sue whenever they can get away with it, even if it is their fault (typical example: trying to dry a dog in a micro-wave oven and suing because there's not warning that it shouldn't be done)."
- Everyone should learn English. However, first they should be fluent in French.
- a Volkswagen Beetle is a medium sized car.
