janeezee how good is your french? do you want it in english or in french?? 

20 years ago I was fluent - so I get by in both!!  Ca ne m'est egale (goodness, it's been a long time.  I need to practice so maybe send it in french & if I have questions I'll pm you!!)

hahah its ok I sent them both to you translated in english..its easier for me as I speak both languages every day and I dont want to add extra stress or give you a headache..(i speak english to my family, the kids etc all the time and french everywhere else..telephone, friends, DH etc)

enjoy

Frozzie I loved that book too! I was so sad when I finished it.  I haven't travelled to France, but it is on my bucket list and I will have much more understanding of the French just from reading her book.  I admire her so much for being so courageous and I admire you as well for living in a foreign country and obviously coping so well.

i know its sad she never wrote another one but imagine life took over..i wouldnt say it explains the french but definately cultural differences from a foreigners perspective, especially in those first few years of adapting to another language, culture and lifestyle which are always hard and everything is strange..once like anywhere you understand them its so much better and life and your experiences take ona whle new meaning..dont however believe alot of generalisations about the french as they arent true and most people who say them have had either a fly by visit or have never been to France..it s the same here..some people believe aussies have pet kangaroos and we all live in the outback and dont work or work very short hours lol

oh and im sorry for hijaking a little this thread..naughty me
