(If she even realized what "merde" meant.) Nonetheless, I'd be disturbed too!<br /><br />E: I didn't eat at the shop, no. Chip shops are notoriously unhealthy, full of fried foods as they are. They're England's version of fast food! Sorry you have to miss out on Saturday. :(<br /><br />Ellen: Spanish makes sense where you are! (Actually, anywhere in the U.S.)<br /><br />Sharon: It's funny how much you absorb just by traveling. You might be surprised!<br /><br />Bug: Do it! They key, I think, is having people to practice with and talk to. If you have that through church, it's a great opportunity!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-46163110658882807372015-03-25T00:19:15.925+00:002015-03-25T00:19:15.925+00:00Good for you for learning French!

Back at my old church I wanted to learn Spanish (the church was bilingual), but I couldn't conquer my innate desire to not do anything :)The Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509037206264761261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-84631708556060564292015-03-24T15:06:12.434+00:002015-03-24T15:06:12.434+00:00Sounds like a great opportunity to me.

However, I think they would have to put me in the beginner's beginner class.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-82356120796057025492015-03-24T13:46:49.373+00:002015-03-24T13:46:49.373+00:00spanish would be my language of choice to learn to...spanish would be my language of choice to learn to speak fluently.

Love the little shop in this photo, very colorful. Have you patronized it?<br /><br />BTW, I will probably not go on Saturday...the parade route is full of potential problems and parking is a bear at the best of times...<br /><br />Thanks again for your e-mail.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-61162132886843042112015-03-24T13:08:02.686+00:002015-03-24T13:08:02.686+00:00My mother supposedly could speak French but I neve...My mother supposedly could speak French but I never heard her. It always disturbed me though that she called me Mer-dee, I suppose because my little brother called me Mer. <br />Even I knew that merde means shit. <br />Keep taking pictures!Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-15763336253601063382015-03-24T08:11:00.839+00:002015-03-24T08:11:00.839+00:00Learning French will be wonderful I'm sure; es...Learning French will be wonderful I'm sure; especially if you are surrounded with people with whom you can converse!!<br />Good luck. <br />I'll be a little bit sorry to see the end of Bleeding London, I've enjoyed all your photos connected with the project.<br /><br />Ms Soupalphabet souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744905399607433764noreply@blogger.com
