France - you will be mine!

2/3/2014

If you could stalk a country, then that is what I'm doing to poor old France.

I swot up on its cultural events and plan trips in order to 'french-ify' myself (I want this to happen soon). When I watch sports or check results, I look at how the French are doing first and feel a stirring inside myself when I hear the national anthem. I have a big map of France so I can look at it whenever want, which is often.

I'm going to beginners French classes at the moment and gradually getting my vocabulary back. I try not to be too impatient.

Marseille is a particular focus for my obsession and here's a venue I stalk regularly.
Maybe I'll sing there one day... http://www.espace-julien.com/fr/ 

Oui, oui, oui!

Getting obsessed with re-learning French. Actually excited by typing verb conjugations into my phone to learn during my lunch break. Went to the south of France for the first time a couple of months ago and now it's pretty much all I think about. I stare at pictures of Marseille and get pre-emptive depression about the coming autumn in London. Was given a great website tip from my Belgian chat buddy (he's so patient with my Walthamstow French!). If you too have the urge to conjugate, get your kicks here:
