You know, come to think of it, back in the early 90s I did go to Paris and stayed with some relatives there. And they had 2 sons a little bit older than me
Am I scaring you yet?
To be honest, I’d be surprised if they still live there though.

To be honest, I’d be surprised if they still live there though.Why? do you really think paris is such a horrible place that it’s scaring people away:(

Merci beaucoup. J’ai etudie le francais pour environ treize annees - de sept ans jusqu’a vingt ans.
(I can’t be bothered to go and find all the accented characters right now).
I ended up in Canada because I’d been working at a multinational company for over 2 years and thought that I’d try and get some international experience. Looked around for a transfer in the company to a country I’d be comfortable in and found Canada.
I figure that I’ll stick around here for 8-9 more years, then decide if I want to go back to the UK or not to settle once and for all.
You know what though - you can take the Londoner out of London, but you can never take London out of the Londoner. There’s no city quite like it in the world
Anyway - jsut in case there's any bad feeling from Mademoiselle Noor de Paris about what I said ... back in 1994 I spent a couple of days living with a French family in Normandy, and I learnt that French people are in fact very wonderful.
The embarrasing thing is that me and my friend, both of us 13 tears old at the time, got beaten in football by two 8 year old french boys :(
How good's your french (spoken / listening). My problem is that while I can ready french pretty easily, I find it hard to listen to (when spoken fast), and in particular my spoken french is AWFUL.
Part of that is because of lack of practice. But even when I was getting A-grades in spoken French, my teachers used to ask me if there was any particular reason why I spoke french with an accent comme un maghrebien....
umm… well, i was predicted an A* for my GCSE so come 25th august we’ll see what happens! i can communicate to people very well, ie speaking/writing but my listening is a bit of a shambles! reading isn’t so bad i guess…
btw… is ‘maghrebien’ an eastener? just a wild guess… sounds like a words from arabic…
you seem to be doing ok in your french so you don’t need to stress!
