I'm sure you'll understand enough of each other's French to be able to have a discussion of the differences.
I've found that's a really easy way of lightening conversation with people from different countries.
"So how do you express this...?"
"If I wanted to tell you...[suggestive comment]...how would I say that?"
You can hide behind the barrier and flirt from that position until you are sure it's going somewhere.
Then apply the co-worker caution test!
Go for it!

Thanks, KP :-D
I really hadn't thought of it that way, but teaching eachother could be fun and keep us occupied.
When I was younger, alcohol was usually the ice breaker, but since I'm not much of a drinker anymore, moi has to find other ways to get comfortable.
I promised myself a long time ago that I'd never get involved with anyone from work again, but it's been over 8 years since I've been involved with anyone and it gets pretty darn lonely sometimes.
I figure that since I'm older and much wiser, I can handle it. We work in different departments and have no need to communicate, so if it doesn't work out, we can easily avoid eachother.
