Steve,
Murray, and I have now been in Nice, France for three weeks! And it has been AMAZING!
I am going
to say it, I was nervous. I had heard
the stories of how French don’t like Americans because of our limited French
speaking abilities. I came here knowing
maybe three words.
But I found
immediately, that if you put in a little effort (attempt to speak it), they
like it. Give them a smile and they will
serve you well.
Let’s put
ourselves in their shoes for once. Could
you imagine if a Chinese speaking transplant started talking to you in Chinese
in the US. We would look at them, like
they are CRAZY (unless you know Chinese)! Well, the same thing
goes both ways. We are not superior and
our language should not be either.
So here’s a
mini French lesson for you. I spell it,
like I say it (this is NOT PROPER FRENCH), but this lesson will get you by if
you plan to visit.

I actually
have a friend that will be visiting the area very soon and I gave her this very
listing. I keep it in my cell phone
notes and use it as a reference when needed.
Remember, a
smile and effort goes a long way. Don’t
be afraid of travel and culture…trust me, it has been 100% worth it. I AM LOVING IT!
