I grew up in Western Canada (not a large French speaking population) and went to French immersion school. There weren’t many opportunities to practice French outside of school. I did have a francophone friend (who later went to a francophone school), but neither her nor her family could understand my French😳! I do wish that I would have looked for more opportunities after high school to extend my French… the base did help when travelling around Mexico and Central America though. I do seem to comprehend French from France better over Quebecois French (due to immersion curriculum).
I'm agog. What French did you learn and what French did your friend's family understand?
My only personal connection to this fascinating topic was when a bunch of college roommates and I piled into the car and went to the fab Montreal Expo, ca.. 1532, and the Francophone among us said they were using a medieval word for ox cart to refer to an automobile. I thought that was a gas. (Hillbilly rellies still spoke [beautiful expressive earthy] Elizabethan English up in the hollers of the Blue Ridge Mountains til.....1935 when the highway went through.)

I love Canadian French! My lovely mother was born in the predominantly Anglophone and Yiddish Westmount neighborhood of Montreal where my grandparents still live! They all learned French for obvious reasons and I always enjoy visiting family in Quebec and hear them speak a weird different genre of French! ;) 😆

ah yes but those designer drinks are typically garnished with an herb or flower for a purpose (i.e. to elevate the flavor of juniper in a gin cocktail try mint, rosemary or basil)-not just because “oh it’s pretty-let’s just pop a flower on there”

for God’s sake we aren’t on a crappy cruise ship or drinking bottom shelf rum at some tourist trap-wait as far as Lalande go I guess we are!

not everything is simply esthetics
Actually many flowers are used just because they look nice like pansies,violets,nasturtium...but of course lalande hasn't got any😂

Oh God....Ryan's got himself a girlfriend. Went from tour guide "friend" to GF in less than a month. Golly gee, I never saw that coming 🙄
Great way to end the pandemic ... keep all the airports open so that idiots like No Life Ryan can travel around the globe spreading Covid and the variants can spread everywhere ...

What is she doing there in the first place...when you have troubles with your immunsystem ..stay home...in these covidtimes....and certainly dont stay at that filthy shithole...where people from all places come in and out...
Unless I see the medical report I will assume her immune issues are all in her head as NO ONE in their right mind is hopping on planes to visit chateau filled with people who lie about C-19 testing. She's probably got loads of anxiety..hence the service dog...who's probably a comfort pet disguised as a service animal.
This is just a hunch...I have a feeling...but watch out Phllieeee.....investigations have commenced and when the truth outs, you and your friend might want to have a Plan B. Once again...STOP LYING!
Some of them wouldn't tell the truth even if their a**es were on fire 🔥🙄

It just came into my mind, now that I haven’t been here for some time, are there any news on the German Superfan Sven? The guy who likes Steffi‘s singing but not her daddy’s art?

So Ryans GF was surprised to hear that this is supposed to be a (first) date and she was rolling her eyes and was signalling " you mean like a couple like a date?!?!"
I wonder what how much her real boyfriend will charge Ryan for it :m

Drawing together the threads of French and singing, I am listening to Zachary Richard and he is singing L'Univers - in French - and I only get a smidgeon of it but it sounds beautiful. The bits I understand lead me to imagine my own interpretation, which works for me. Now to go find the lyrics and interpretation and learn the truth.

I have a feeling the word for car that your friend referred to is "char" as "le char"= chariot or cart. In casual conversation, that is how many people, especially guys, still call their car. Glad to hear you have good memories of your excursion to Montreal Expo in 1532.

Snorty

You are a total ingoramus

That’s not isolating

That’s still in the presence of everybody

Better hope you don’t inflict an illness
Tantamount to knowingly placing her in ⛔ danger

You need to be completely isolated
But you can’t abide your own company

Sending prayers to the universe for the safe keeping of your best friend
Just saw GAG and I want to offer Stephanie Jarvis a hearty congrats for reaching a new level of stupid (sounds like a thread title) with Philip's "isolation!"

Wow! Just wow! :m :m :m :m :m :m :m :m :m

keep away please.png


And no one bothered to tell the new girl that her fly was open for the first 11 minutes! 😆 :m ;)

Quite a few people end up having a hearing or visual impairment, but in this case I'd say he'd benefit from both ...

Back to garniture, which as I'm sure you understand is the subject, like sugar pieces montees, of volumes and volumes of mind-boggling French pedantry which has now reached the status of food porn as no one turns mushrooms anymore. The Japanese, whose aesthetic principles are even loftier and more authoritarian than the French, are riding high now in garniture world. They too have Rules which kitchen apprentices must not break on pain of having to eat fish stick sashimi.
Here's a glimpse at the €24 cocktails served at the hotel where Kitty Spencer's wedding guests stayed.
There's some very precious macho chef foolery going down, along the lines of I kill my own chickens and brew my own bitters. Culinary has extended to the bar.
But the main thrust toward the herbal and the floral is to bring the ladies into the bar to drink the herbally infused heavy duty alcohol. Gin full of orange peel is still gin. Women at the bar mean money for the bar. All you need is oversalted snacks and your business plan is complete.
