La langue Francaise

I love the French language so much (which helps with my degree) yes, it’s ridiculously complex sometimes with far too many tenses and sentences to say what can be said with one word in English, but that is partially what I love about it! It’s almost like going back in time to Jane Austen’s England when they were very wordy! Also the way the French speak is fantastic, not only their accent (a French person saying ‘so British’ will never fail to make me smile) but also the musicality of when they speak. The French don’t believe me, but to the English French is a very musical language. They also detest the word ‘like’ and Britishisms which are everywhere in France now. In a way I agree with the academie francais (a group of old French men who decide what words are allowed in the dictionary) in refusing to acknowledge pretty much all foreign words, like walkman. But sorry academie, I think you’ll find Jeans and denim were French words to begin with before Levis took them over!
The way they imitate others when they speak is fantastic too, and reminds me of being read stories when I was little and every character had a different voice and way of speaking, well every day is like that in France! Whether they’re giving their teacher a high nasal voice or imitating the accents of other French speakers, it’s a delight listening to them!
