To be honest, English is my mothertongue, but I am fluent in French, and have started reading the French translation of the LotR. I actually prefered it to the English. I thought it was just so charming, and I even uderstood some of the puns better! Did you know that Bilbo Baggins lives in Bag-End, for example... And his cousins the Sackville-Baggins! I never got that before!
