Have fun in Montreal!Lucky Punkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801448563037610925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-50668570196068191622012-05-29T04:35:20.321-07:002012-05-29T04:35:20.321-07:00Also keep in mind that whatever program you end up...Also keep in mind that whatever program you end up picking, the French spoken will probably be very different from what you will hear in beautiful Montreal... don't get frustrated they just speak funny up there :)<br />Seriously, as Mi said, you already have a good base with Spanish so it'll just be pronunciation. <br />A la prochain,<br />OliviaOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04308921132214932014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-66569985631648515702012-05-28T10:43:15.656-07:002012-05-28T10:43:15.656-07:00Anon,

French is not a very difficult language to learn - around 65% of the words in English and French are the same or at least very similar which really helps - the difficulty is in the pronunciation! http://www.thegoodlifefrance.com/category/french-language/ I've done a little work on my site on the language of France and it might help but I wish you luck and fun with it and I'm looking forward to reading about your journey on this one - I am sure you will make it to Paris at some time - if not now, then later...Janine@thegoodlifefrance.comhttp://www.thegoodlifefrance.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25806438.post-67397934087866915052012-05-25T15:05:43.367-07:002012-05-25T15:05:43.367-07:00I am for one sort of looking forward to turning 40...I am for one sort of looking forward to turning 40, 2.5 years from now. Most days, I love the knowledge that I have gained.<br />I started studying Spanish at 27. 10 years later, while not perfect, I am fluent. I read books, watch TV, teach elementary level classes and am close to finishing my MA. Not too bad for a woman in Jan 2002 could barely read a Taco Bell menu. I applaud you wanting to learn French just remember that its a process, a journey. Focus on that! If you focus on the end goal, you will only get frustrated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
