Learning French

So I keep dreaming that someday we’d end up in Canada, and that someday the Chus would be able to at least speak and understand some French (not that we’d need French to survive in Canada anyway; and hopefully my French would be more fluent than my Thai when I lived in Thailand, during which time I knew enough Thai to fool the Thais once in a while that I was one of them. Ha!). So I’ve re-started my efforts in at least listening to some French lessons from iTunes everyday.

I found it interesting that this French-speaking guy thought some English words were hard to pronounce. But I think English is probably super easy compared to some of the European languages such as German and French. And speaking of pronunciations, French “r” sound alone is enough to kill my tongue a few times during the course of a 15-minute “Coffee Break French” lesson. Once Neely’s project winds down a little, I am going to get back to Rosetta Stone French DVD more seriously… Fingers crossed if I ever get to it…

Living in California, maybe I should be concentrating on Spanish. ¿no?
