I just saw Mr. Bean with Tavernertoddler. I want to go to France now.

[Taverner]

For a week, a month, a year, a decade...I dunno...

I just want to go there now...

[lost-in-nj]

4. He's in Paris, the countryside and Cannes

All three look like great places to go...

2. Paris is amazing...

Truly...I can't wait to get back...sigh.

[Taverner]

5. If I only knew French I'd probably be there...

Pero el Espanol es mi solomente otro lengua.

6. Most Parisians speak English fluently...

Of course, you get much better treatment if you at least attempt to speak the language. "Je voudrais..." is your most basic phrase to learn... "I would like...."

Je voudrais un paquet des cigarettes, les American Spirits, les bleus, s'il vous plait
Je voudrais une biere, s'il vous plait

Etc, etc... :D

[Taverner]

7. What about "where are there diaper changing stations?"

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Ou est la place pour langer?

:D

[Taverner]

12. Of course Tavernertoddler and Tavernertot would probably love Paris

And make me move there....

Of course I'd wonder where Belgium was :)

15. Attempting to speak French is no problem...

...but attempting to understand it when they reply is something else entirely.

[bicentennial_baby]

17. I didn't have a problem...

9 months of French, and I spent a delightful 3.5 weeks there with no problem. In fact, I had French tourists, from other parts of the country, mistake me for a Frenchwoman, often. :)

3. France is Awesome

It is a very beautiful city. The people we encountered were friendly. Nothing negative or hateful was said to us the whole time we were there. I definitely want to go back.

[Taverner]

8. If most US cities could only be more Parisian

We might spend our time enjoying life rather than worrying about the afterlife...

9. I was watching fútbol on Telemundo this afternoon

Afterward, they had an episode of "Mr. Bean," dubbed in Spanish. :crazy:

[Taverner]

11. Did it make a difference?

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Did to me

Since I could understand about 1/5 of it. :shrug:

[Taverner]

14. Hablo Espanol aqui, pero

No soy que no intendierlo eso en alguien lengua...

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Yo tambien

It was more a novelty than anything else. I watched for about 10 minutes.

That marvelous physical/visual comedy still translates well, though. :D

I wondered, though — ¿Por qué no se llama "Señor Haba"? :rofl:
