 Can You Speak French

Can You Speak FrenchIf you like France, you will love French. After all, admiring something means loving the whole of it, at most cases. Knowing how to speak the language of everybody’s favorite place will not only make you feel being part of but being one of it. French is not only hard enough just listening to it, it’s harder to actually speak it. But there is something to “French” that drives my fascination to passion. It is sophisticated. For one, notice the manner French people use their tongue and guide their mouth when speaking, unconsciously. They have no idea how fascinating it is just listening to them talking. Besides the natural flow (like the way we speak our lingo) is art and sophistication. There is art in its diction. There is sophistication in its accent and pronunciation. There is beauty in it as a whole. No wonder France and everything there is, is not hard to love. Believe me you will know what I’m talking about when you get yourself in a good direction.

Have you noticed that second to English, the universal language, French is the only language being taught to almost every country in the world. I would not wonder why everybody loves France as much as the language is concerned. In many countries French has a significant role in the international language as much as in matters concerning administrative. And in most schools French is taught with a specific category as the French subject. Come to think of it, should it means nothing and only answers insignificance, how come the languages of the Middle East are not the ones being taught instead? And Singapore is a stunning city too, how come Malay isn’t taught? And there are just as many tourists there is in some other gorgeous countries as there is in France but why not their languages not given the opportunity to be brought in universally? Why French? Well, if you did not know French is used significantly in some parts of these places Algeria, Andorra, Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, Cambodia, Canada, Cape Verde, Dominica, Egypt, Greece, Grenada, Guinea-Bissau, India, Italy, Laos, Lebanon, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Poland, Switzerland, Syria, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, United Kingdom, United States (Louisiana, New England) and Vatican City. Now without further exposition, I’m sure you can now figure out why “YOU CAN SPEAK FRENCH” too.

 Passion for Louis Vuitton in France

Passion for Louis Vuitton in FranceAs a language teacher here in New York City- traveling to France to polish my French is a dream comes true. It is like being given a gold watch
for a birthday gift. Some tourist plunge themselves to the most fantastic cities of France like Paris, Cannes, Bordeaux, or Nice and bask themselves in France’s historical sights and enjoy its fabulous nightlife- but not me because I searched France cities with shops of the famous Louis Vuitton.

On my itinerary my first stop is to look for a Louis Vuitton boutique and try to touch one of his bags and look at it as if I’m gonna buy.(Well, I don’t have that many cash!).

The bags of Louis Vuitton are very exclusive and expensive. Even though there are shops that offer imitation Louis Vuitton bags for those people who want the look and not the cost people still love to have the authentic ones. Authentic Louis Vuitton bags can only be bought directly through the designer’s shops.

Louis Vuitton has burst into the fashion scene with the increase of popularity of its luggage business through the years. Yet, what I love most in these Loiuse vuitton collections from the choices of blouse, shoes, dresses, luggage- is the famous and expensive bags.

Louis Vuitton’s bags collection is a status symbol. If you have the money flaunt it with Louis Vuitton’s colletions. And it all started from France. This is one shopping spree you could miss. You cannot visit France without bringing something from Louis Vuittons collection either the authentic one or the replica ones. This is one fantastic show off and proof of visiting France.

One of the talks about bags right now is what they call as the “Frankenstein’s monster” bag that is worth 45,000 dollars. Everybody is raving about it and was shocked when they saw it flaunted on the walkway. Yet, after a while it was sold out! That is how influential Louis Vuitton is in the fashion world. Even the not so good to eyes will really look wonderful to the eyes of the many. What is so special about that bag is that it will catch the attention of the passersby since it is so odd looking.

But now Loius Vuitton sells a lot of things already. Go Loius Vuitton all the way. See the authentic bags from fabulous botiques in France. So, France is always in the international fashion limelight. Thanks to Loius Vuitton.

Mostly, these Asian people go to France to copy and study France’s technique in baking bread and to cook special food. That is why baguette stick bread can be now found in any countries within Asia. But baguette stick bread is in fact originated in the country of France. The fact is France is also well-known of being good in baking pizza, through their ingredients like tomatoes, bacon, and cheese and so on. There pizza is one of the famous foods we had nowadays; even in the other country they imitate how to bake a French pizza.

The country of France has special holidays were all the big and small shops are usually close. Sundays is usually the day off of all workers in France, this is the day were they can be with their family, doing something fun but some of them attending a Sunday mass since few of them are Roman Catholic.
