Learning French

Parlez-vous français ? Je ne parle français.  A few nights after I returned from Paris I woke up and remembers how to count to ten in French, except for 5 and 7.   I have hopes of fluency in the language and have trying to find the time to practice… at least now I have some books to help me through.

Any tips or tricks to how I can increase my vocabulary and grammar?  I’ve a few people with whom I am corresponding in French, but the lack of vocab is hampering my expression…  (and I am always open to more conversations… do you skype?)

Speaking of expression, one thing that struck me on the return from Paris was that my hearing had adjusted to pick out good vs not so good pronunciation.  The flight attendant on the plane leaving France had a terrible French accent compared to what I had been enjoying the previous week.

Ok.. back to the writing and the books.

Au revoir  :-)
