I really miss speaking French...
For various reasons, I dropped my French major last semester, and went with just the Econ major. I really miss it. Not like an everyday longing for it, but just an overall absence in my being. I was just emailing a friend who speaks it, and I found myself typing half the message in French. Hmmm. Weird.

:)

11. I've got a self written guide to Paris if you want it.
We've been going to France every year for the pas ten years at least once, sometimes twice or three times.

12. C'est dommage!
J'aime Paris. Peut-être vous ne connaissez pas les endroits véritablement bons
pour aller ou les quartiers sympa.

Le Canal St. Martin, Belleville, le Marais et Butte au Cailles sont plus belle.

8. Merci :))
Non, je ne parle francais.

Actually, I used to -- a long, l;ong time ago. Now, I have a much easier time translating it than speaking it. And writing is most difficult.

I was brought up with French as my second language, and I'm so sorry that I lost most of it.

14. Bonjour bicentennial
Dernièrement je fais de cours particulier avec une française ici à Santa Barbara, je lis beaucoup plus qu'avant, et j'écoute des podcasts (baladodiffisions en Québec, enregistrements vocales selon l'Academie) comme RFI-Le journal en français facile.

Aujourd'hui dans mon leçon on a lu le poème "Elle avait pris ce pli dans son âge enfantin" de Victor Hugo. C'est très joli.
