For reasons I don't know why, I was born with an insatiable curiosity. Forever wondering. Forever wandering.

When we stand between them and something they want to see: Et ton père, il est vitrier ? Is your father a glazier?

When...

[polyglottingg-deactivated201503]

For people learning French and wanting to speak it like a native, I’ll give you some tips, the things native people say (so you can sound less formal when you speak it).

"Je suis" is often shortened to "j’suis" and if we say it fast, it becomes "chuis"

"Tu es" and basically every verb with "tu"...

Frenchin' with S #1

Tonight, S and I frenched for the very first time together! It lasted so long, nearly 20 min! And he told me that for my first time, I was very good ;) I bet you thought for a second I was actually talking about making out. No! In fact we were not french kissing, rather we were talking in French!

I've tried speaking French before with friends at parties, or when I was slightly intoxicated, but never have I held a sustained conversation in French for longer than 5 minutes! S was so patient with me, and he told me that my accent wasn't half bad.

We discussed my day, directions to my new apartment in Tokyo from our apartment we shared for a week, and what my plans were for when I return to Paris. Speaking in the future and conditional tenses was definitely my biggest struggle, so I'll be working on that tonight with Grammaire Progressive du Français (Niveau Intermédiaire) and watching Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, a 1964 French musical about war times and love.

Evelyn and I decided to have a mid-afternoon impromptu dance party. She stole my camera, and put on her new vintage coat from Harajuku, and I decided she was too cute not to photograph.

Faire le malin - to try to be clever

Je n’aime pas ce mec, il fait trop le malin. - I don’t like that guy. He tries too hard to be clever.

De/D’ = “of” D’ is the contraction of De when the following letter is a vowel. It just helps making the words flow together, it doesn’t change the meaning at all.

[awesomefrench]

These are words French people sort of use anarchically regladless of their original gender. This confusion can be explained for example by liaisons (L’armistice = le + armistice, but it sounds like la + armistice), by the facts we mostly use them with their plural form (Les horaires d’ouverture...
