Spent yesterday lollygagging around the house, listening to french moody pop music and then went book shopping with my angelic british friend. Ended up scoring a great deal on a doodlebook and then bought some cards to send out into the world. Those of you who have posted addresses may receive a artfully decorated card with a poem on it.
Yours truly.
Found a consignment store also (YEAH DEALS), but I was very well behaved and left my wallet at home. Well behaved as in, it was the only option because I'm a ditz.
I've found my french is now at a nicely operable level. I still make a ton of mistakes and lapse into an Amurican accent, but I try to correct myself and keep myself in what I call "the french mindset."
The French Mindset: Speak primarily with the front of the mouth, raise eyebrows and look confused a lot, saying "Voila" "Bah Ouais" "Donc" and "D'accord."
I also rehearse the extra fancy ways of asking for things in stores, to the effect that store clerks are astonished by the hyper-formality of my exaggerated french accent. What can I say?
A round of applause please. I figured out how to add music videos! These following bands are french, but for the most part sing in English.
I hope it works in your country, if not this song is called "Balulalow" by Revolver.
And this one is called "Leave Me Alone."
And finally....
Pony Pony Run Run, FROM NANTES!
