No hablo español

Yesterday a good friend of mine who does not speak French told me how difficult it is to read my blog. If there're some articles in English I still write a lot in French.
I promise to use more my English. click on lire la suite for more

I'm doing this site for me but also for you all my friends. I know how it can be frustrated to find an article and don't be able to read it.
Actually, I'd love be able to write even just 1 article in each of your language but then I'd have to speak:
- Bulgarian
- Chinese (actually I know how to marry a guy and open an ice-cream shop on Beijing main street. It's impressing, isn't it?)
- Danish (well, I think my Danish is understandable so you have to give me credit for 1 language)
- English (I really hope my broken English is more than correct :-) so 1 more language)
- Estonian (I already know how to give a toast and ask for the bus station. Not that bad)
- French (as mother tongue I think my skills are pretty good)
- German (I should speak a little bit but I wasn't very motivated by my German class in high school. And it was 10 years ago: ich bin kaput mit Deutsch )
- Greek
- Japanese (I can say few things but no way to write it. Too difficult.)
- Lithuanian (I know how to make cepellinai, isn't it enough? )
- Norwegian (so close from Danish, let's say I manage it!)
- Polish
- Russian (I'm starting a class on next week. Yeahhhh!!!)
- Spanish (I can read and understand the main idea but I can't write nor speak. And yes I know it's THE shame for a girl who grew up in the most Spanish French city, know everything about feria, bodega and sevillanas but as you know nobody's perfect :-) )
- Swedish (cf. Norwegian)
- Thaï (I cook thaï food very often which is a good start :-) )

16 languages!! Definitely too many for me. And I know that none of you are expecting me writing in all these languages. Hopefully! We can all manage in English. Fine. But the fact is that I manage even more in French. A lot of survey shows that the mother tongue is the only one we never forget, the one we feel the closest. And that's true. At least for me.

Well, I tried to change the language of my site. I wanted all in English you know like "calendar" instead of "calendrier", all that but it's not possible. Ok, I should have choose an English hoster but what is done is done and I don't think that's really problematic.
Anyway, I promise to write more in English eventhough I think that I'm giving you a great chance to learn or improve your French, the best and most beautiful language in the world.

Kidding of course!

Thanks for reading me and first of all: I'm so glad and lucky I met you all. You're all fantastic. And I mean it.

Mon dieu, mon dieu! Pas trop d'anglais pour moi: je suis une vraie brêle en ce qui concerne les langues étrangères! Bon, je veux dire, ne te lance pas trop dans des débats psycho-philosophiques en anglais, parce que je ne pourrai plus te suivre!!! lol
Non, en même temps c'est chouette de pouvoir se faire un blog international!

Non non ne t'inquète pas! Bien sûr que je vais écrire en francais. Je pense faire 50-50 parce que c'est vrai que la plupart de mes amis ne sont pas francophones ou alors baragouinent tant bien que mal 2 ou 3 mots. Donc pour les sujets hautement philosofiques tu auras matière à faire rien qu'en francais. Mais parler dans un autre langue aide aussi beaucoup. Par exemple je sais que je me suis sortie de pas mal de problèmes en les abordant en anglais et danois. En francais je me sentais trop proche, je n'arrivais pas à parler. Dans une langue étrangère il me semblait prendre de la distance et parler devenait moins douloureux. Ohla! vaste sujet pour un simple commentaire mais le sujet des langues est tellement passionant!
