My Nice Resolution For 2010
Its that time again when La Mom reflects on the year gone by and is looking forward to the next year. To honor lanne 2010, here are my Frenchified New Year resolutions.
One. Take an amateurs French class.
That's's right, its back to basics French 101. My French pals have declared war on my inaccurate use of Le and La and they assert that after a decade here I should speak perfect French.
I say lets not get too picky - my message gets across in spite of these petite mistakes. When they stop pronouncing high end as high hand, then ill take 'em seriously.
2. Learn how to cook French food.
I suspect large Cheese is bored with Tex Mex and frozen French food from Picard judging by the christmas present he gave me this year : French Cooking for Dummies.
three. Learn the different French baguettes.
Im bored with getting corrected by giant Fry at the boulangerie when I order astraightforward baguette and he tells the baker, confirm its a normal baguette and not so cooked, please. you'll find the best one just near to appartement Montmartre
four. Shop faster.
I realized I havent been hitting the boutiques enough when I spent last Monday shopping ALL day and couldnt buy anything I liked because my Parisianista fashionista manager already has the same stuff!
five. Carry a pocket compendium.
To whip out when Big Fry uses words like puisque. Gone are the days when I accepted all his French : La voiture goes vite, mommy.
6. Think like the French its all about the wine.
A Frenchie emailed his vacation wishes and concluded with, Il faut sefforcer dtre jeune comme un Beaujolais et de vieillir comme un Bourgogne ( Try your hardest to stay young like a Beaujolais wine and grow old like a Bourgogne wine ).
seven. Stay in Paris
if you need to stay in this pretty city you have to look for good place to stay, like location appartement Montmartre
