capitalization rules

I'm not ESL, so I hope it's okay I post here. I hope someone knows the answer.
"I am French" - is that capitalization correct?
"I speak french" - is that?
"My classes are taught to me in french"
"I was taught in french"
AHHHH so confused. Help?
Courtenay, non ESL but still very confused by the language!

Hi, 'French' should normally be capitalized, both as a noun and as an adjective. There are only a few exceptions, eg 'french fries'. Clive
