Having just taken a quick look at your blog I can confirm this is the case for your use of the language anyway (I particularly love your EU book tour).<br /><br />Although I will admit that while my French is still terrible my fear of your country has gone: no one told me off when I did attempt to speak and everyone (especially Berkeley Books) was so kind and friendly that I can't wait to return.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081296214039287324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352104773840153594.post-38416346870831562452015-11-17T22:04:22.804+00:002015-11-17T22:04:22.804+00:00"And because I really should know better I..."And because I really should know better I'm ashamed, nervous, and generally terrified of being yelled at by an angry Frenchman who's sick of seeing his language murdered by yet another ignorant tourist."<br /><br />Why would you think that? Have you heard us speak English? We don't have lessons to give in terms of speaking other languages.<br /><br />Glad you finally got to visit Paris;<br /><br />Emma, from France, who blogs in English at Book Around The Corner despite all the mistakes she makes because she's a native French speaker. :-) Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716351799835873036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352104773840153594.post-39127689264525584432015-11-10T22:33:34.914+00:002015-11-10T22:33:34.914+00:00Thank you, I hope so too - I'd love to encoura...Thank you, I hope so too - I'd love to encourage more people to explore beyond the obvious tourist trailEricahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081296214039287324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352104773840153594.post-9349000228883642442015-11-06T16:56:39.300+00:002015-11-06T16:56:39.300+00:00lovely article which holpefully will draw many peo...lovely article which holpefully will draw many people to this excellent bookshop!samovarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680349253630614787noreply@blogger.com
