Well, none really, but I can pick out a few words if I have to. Montmartre is the area Carrie is talking about, and the place that looks like the elephant house at the zoo is a church, Sacre Coeur. Montmartre is the "neighborhood" that it's in.

French is all about the accent. Even if you don't know much of the language, if your accent is good, they'll respond positively. They would much rather you stick to English than mangle their beloved accent.<BR/>I used to, emphasize used to, be pretty decent at French, and my accent was excellent, so during my visits Josh The Pilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210441486571821331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678945.post-1155142186990320352006-08-09T12:49:00.000-04:002006-08-09T12:49:00.000-04:00jules,Exactly ;)But thanks for the "correction."jules,<BR/><BR/>Exactly ;)<BR/><BR/>But thanks for the "correction."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678945.post-1155122566668375422006-08-09T07:22:00.000-04:002006-08-09T07:22:00.000-04:00I took 2 years of French from that same high schoo...I took 2 years of French from that same high school and went to Paris with them - LOVED it, but couldn't actually speak a word.
