No, I can't speak a single word. I try to remember words, but it's just nothing there. I can't think of a single word.

If you show me some simple words, I can probably remember what some of them mean, but I can't retrieve any word from my mind. It's just like the sensation where you want to say something, but can't remember a word, and you try real hard to remember that word. Except that's all I feel, only that sensation. There are no words I can remember.

Of course now I opened a french website, and tried to read it. Yes, I recognise some words, and there is even a minimal level of understanding. But I could not think of those words before reading the text.
