Quick intro.  I'm a newbie and doing the research.  Started by purchasing a VIP membership.  My biggest concern is health issues.  I'm dipping my toe into the hobby and looking for just french and mutual exploration in the beginning.  I'm not looking for full service at this point of my hobbying career.  (No I don't plan to negotiate, I know I'm paying just for thier time )  I have a few ladies in mind, well reviewed for their french skills.  They do it without a translator.  My question is do you think if I insist on a translator I would not receive as good of a service?  These are ladies where all the reviews rave about their untranslated skills.  Thanks for the help

I'd say, it's better to go with someone, well practiced in negotiating the language boundry, rather than someone skilled without one.
