Hi Nyrki Welcome to forum and I hope you have a great time here . Also I just wanted to say I have visited France three times and Paris would have to be the most romantic and beautiful city in world and I have told my boyfriend that if we get married we will be having the honeymoon in Paris . KZE

Thank you Kara! Yes, Paris is a beautiful city and even if a often go there, I still marvel at the wonders we have. If you come someday, I could tell you about some places.

Hi Nyrki I guess I didn't word my last message very well because I have been to Paris three times and loved it like no where else I've ever been . I love to meet you and my parents and I haven't organized our next overseas trip yet but there is a chance we could tour Europe again June/July '11 . Plus don't worry I can speak French fairly well and it would be great to see Paris through the eyes of a local . KZE

Sorry Kara, you worded your message perfectly.
I didn't word mine properly. I should have said "If you come again, ..."
It's nice you can speak French. It'll help you a lot in Paris. I know because I have part of my family living in the US and it's easier when they come and visit us than other American visitors.
You Canadians are amazing people. I loved it there. Beside Summer, it seems we have another Supergirl on the forum!

Hi Nyrki Thank you for kind words about my fellow Canadians I'm glad we have made such good impression on you . My experience of French people are that you are a warm and friendly people and really know how to live life . I've been speaking French since I was eight and unlike a lot of my fellow Canadian's I love speaking French it such a beautiful language . I know when I go to Montreal I always speak French the whole time I'm their and it's a nice change from speaking english which I find is dull language by comparison . Also thanks for head and legs expression that is my new nickname which is a change from Supergirl and action barbie although I should add my friends have a slight veration which is head , legs and boobs my friends are so classy . Thank you also for the Supergirl complement , speaking of which I'll end with a Supergirl story . When in Paris the first time we visited my parents and I where on the top floor of the Eiffel tower and I had my dad hold me up on the railing and I did my best Supergirl pose and Mum took my picture I was 12 at time and believe it or not we did it again when I was 15 and 18 sad I know . KZE PS I forgot to mention I answered your question about Toronto in the introducing myself part of the forum .

Hello Kara. Even if France is the world's most preferred tourist destination, we are not as welcoming as I would like. So I'm glad you had a good experience in that matter. I'm glad that you learnt French and seize any occasion to practise, you have Québec nearby. Of course, I'm in the opposite situation, I have England not far away and have many opportunities in my job. I find the English language useful of course (I sometimes travel and knowing English is a key to facilitate things), but also I find that it is deeper and subtler as I thought. Reading TSCC fanfics for the past few months confirmed it.
Did you learn French as first foreign language at school?
I'm glad I brought you a new nickname that you appreciate. I burst out laughing at the "subtle" variation your friends brought. It seems you have enough humor to laugh at the joke.
Very nice story about the Eiffel tower. I absolutely don't find it sad that you did it again at 18. I like the idea that our passions survive when we become adult, keeping our child's soul.
By the way, in order to survive Paris' huge traffic jams, I also have a motorbike. I have a Honda CB 1300S. I hope you drive carefully with your own.
Thank you for telling me about Toronto. I feel like visiting there someday.

Je te souhaite un très bon week-end (nos amis Québecquois diraient "bonne fin de semaine") et de reprendre des forces avant d'affronter la nouvelle semaine. Quel temps fait-il à Toronto?

French is mandatory in Canadian schools until you finish Grade 9.

Hi Cager I went to private elementary and secondary schools in Toronto and we started learning French at eight and still had to learn it until grade 12 . KZE

grade 8 or eight years old?. If eight years old then it really puts you at an advantage.

Hi Cager Sorry I must have had one of my blonde moments I started learning French at eight years of age my parents thought I should learn French as soon as possible . I was from the age of 6 my parents tell me keen to learn French anyway so it was win win . Also I was unable to attend this years Fan Expo as my 21st was on Monday 30th August and we had to organize 150 friends and family from all over Canada and the US for my birthday . KZE
