Suite de l'histoire de John... début du spéctacle de marionnettes.

I know this might sound like a strange piece of advise, but I've been there... So you have some French acquaintances, and you think it would be great to practice your French with them. Ok, sounds good.

Suite de l'histoire de John... pensées sur Notre Dame et arrivée au Parc Montsouris.

I meet many people who understand enough French to get by in France, but then they freeze when they actually get there. They know they are likely to make mistakes, and that stops them from even trying to speak.

Mon étudiant John est allé en France en mars 2010 et comme exercice, je lui ai demandé de me raconter une partie de son voyage, chose qu'il a faite avec son zèle et brio habituel. J'ai donc décidé de partager son travail avec vous. Notez les tournures avec "si" qui étaient un point de grammaire que nous étudiions. Cette histoire s'étendra sur 4 blogs, et vient avec des enregistrements audio.

Paris has got to be one of the most documented cities on the planet.  So many blogs, e-newsletters and Paris specialist publications like Bonjour Paris the weekly e-magazine. Bonjour Paris has a subscriber section and also a free section and the non-subscriber part has a very good listing of events and happenings.

You probably learned in school that the negative in French is formed with two words surrounding the verb: “ne” (or n’) and “pas.” Then, you diligently learned "Je NE veux pas.”
