I once scoffed to Love Chunks, "Oh, I can read you like a book," .... and he shot back immediately with, "Well I can read *you* like a factsheet!"<br /><br />Hmmm, Jayne. I'll go for any horse that begins with J, as in Jayne.<br /><br />Anji, you're right. Talking is the best way to learn but I find that the words 'come' about an hour after I need them. I wanted to thank the chef who made our lunch today (he was out the back having a smoke as we walked by) but ended up just blabbing at him and giving him the thumbs up. Later, in the car, I remembered what I should have said: 'Vous etre le chef? Tres bien dejeuner - merci beaucoup!'<br /><br />I appreciate that coming from you, Jackie K.

I've been in France since 1985, I can usually manage a conversation but I've never had lessons - my grammar is hopeless. Having children at school encouraged me to read as they suddenly wanted their bedtime stories in French. It's amazing just how much you absorb, but you must watch TV, listen to the radio, get out and about and talk!Anjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562210585479814093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-1863174857677420192011-10-08T07:03:21.475+02:002011-10-08T07:03:21.475+02:00LOL

She lived in Toulouse for a year and immersed herself in the culture - and she DID read kiddies books - and they helped. It's worth a try.<br /><br />You should try reading William Shatner books - I have kept one just to prove that I am better than a published author (even though I am still crap).<br /><br />Men like sport because we are competitive animals. Simple. If my football team beat my mate's I have won a battle - and that is a great feeling even though I wasn't actually involved. If I was involved that's an even BIGGER buzz.<br /><br />Good advice for Sapphire. I am hopeless at picking up female signals (to my shame).<br /><br />Great questions and great answers.<br /><br />:0)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-18658278582014422312011-10-06T16:39:11.297+02:002011-10-06T16:39:11.297+02:00Thanks HWH - no nap, despite my wishes.

Instead I was doing something just as 'fun' for me - heading across town to a second-hand shop that sells books in English for around 50c a copy.<br /><br />That's plenty nice enough, Andrew :)<br /><br />River, the check out staff at the supermarkets are NOT like you. They're surly, obviously bored and don't try to hide it and do NOTHING remotely helpful as they fling the items down the end of the conveyer belt and watch as I struggle to pack it before it all piles up and falls over....<br /><br />Imogen you've gone and made me cry just a little bit! :)<br /><br />Ah Tracy, even cheese and onion aren't my favourites, to be honest. It's smoky bacon in the UK; roast chicken in Oz and Paprika here. Craved salt and vinegar like a mad woman during my pregnancy and liked to wash them down with icy cold milk. Not the most ideal food combination in retrospect but one that I'd make LC slam on the brakes for: "Stop LC! HERE! The BP sells chips AND milk.
