Hello Folks,
Just a brief mention that I am on hiatus due to selling of a house in NY and moving to Penna. Since I am someone who needs structure in my life so I can study French, I have put my French studies on hold until Sept. 1. By that time I will hopefully be settled in enough to get on with my French. I have not forgotten about my French!
I never knew selling and moving could be so disruptive.
enjoy.

I was wondering the same. I'm going to assume NY means the state of NY and so Penna might be short for Pennsylvania.

Thanks so much Peter. Your best wishes mean a lot to me. You have of course been one of my long standing guiding lights through it all.

Thanks Carmody. I'll overlook the typo though. Clearly you meant I've been the only true source of inspiration through the entirety of your language learning journey. You've truly come a long way! I look forward to seeing you back learning, but take the focus off French while you need to, it'll still be there when you're set to return!

Moving is fun only when it's over, and then only if the new place is truly better than the old.Carmody wrote:Hello Folks,

Re: A French Book Reading Resource
There is a whole giant genre of anglophones writing books about moving to Paris or some bucolic part of France and writing about the cultural differences, finding themselves again after a midlife crisis or whatever. You know what I'm talking about. (I'm not criticising, I gobble them up) Are there such books written by French people going to UK/USA etc and sending back breezy reports on their discoveries of "our" strange ways?

There is a great early episode where a French woman goes on and on about the joys of living in… … Boston … (!!)
