I recently told my class that in French, (though I myself speak German not French- at least not much) that fiancee is the woman but fiance is the man. But in English use I've only seen fiancee.... anyone know about the use of fiance in English??????????

Ah, but if I said, "I speak Deutsch" some folks might not know what I meant. Just like I say I'm flying to Munich this Spring- not I'm flying to M?nchen. Vergessen Sie nicht, jemand der 'Deutsch' spricht, spricht auch eine germanische Sprache, und das Fach ist Germanistik, nicht Deutschistik... also, "German" geht auch. [;)]
Little too much peanut butter on your PB & J?
the woman are "finance me's"
the men are "financiers"
