French Word-of-the-Week


I've decided, as I'm learning French more and more this semester, and I plan to continue learning it in the future, I'm going to fuel my desire to stay abreast of the language by beginning a post series called
French Word-of-the-Week
!

It's a perfect was to keep me thinking and writing in French. And, it is also a way that Michael can contribute more to the blog, because, he is, after all, fluent in French.

The word I choose each week will reflect something that is personal to me, either being an activity or experience from that current week. I will write about it and give a translation so all will be able to understand and comprehend this new feature of the blog.

And, I will strive to make each post appear on Friday because there is nothing more adorable and cliche' than Français Friday.

What do you think?

  1. you and Michael might be the only ones reading it who know what its saying, but go for it. :)Scott can understand and speak a little, but not a lot. I know Spanish pretty well, and since they're both latin based I might get a few words here or there... but most likely I'll just smile and say... "Uh... thanks, friend!" :) Happy French Friday posting.

    p.s. question for Michael... Hispanic people call someone who can't speak spanish very well a "Gringo" or "Gringa" Do the French call American's who can't understand them anything (anything that is appropriate for reapeating, that is?) After getting to know Loic very well, I think the French are funny, his wife was delightful, but sometimes I would just be shocked at how blunt they are... entertain us, Oh speakers of French. :)
