It is highly unfortunate that more French people don't try to stand up for their culture and language because it is a rich one that should be marveled at. What's even more disturbing is that most of these shows they watch on T.V. are definite misrepresentations of American culture. My students are often going on and on about how they want to go to America so badly and I'm thinking you've got all these countries so easily accessible to you (not to mention your own) and you haven't even explored them yet... I'd kill for their "dilemma" but I guess for most it's "the grass is greener on the other side" syndromeH.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11176490610648867834noreply@blogger.com
