I'm not so sure about that... Once again I speak mostly for France but I feel like here, you don't see those people who haven't really moved. They don't really "go out" and rarely interact with strangers, especially if those strangers don't speak french. And I have to say, I don't know a lot of...

Oh my, the best to me was when we came across a BANK DRIVE-THRU It didn't make any sense Now I think "drugs" and it makes more sense BUT STILL

Hey y'all, To begin, I hope this post is in the right thread ! I just figured out it could be fun to have a discussion about the differences people saw between two continents that might look the same from an external point of view. It's not to decide which one is best, but only because I like to...

Yeah, I don't know for other nationalities but people from france are just the worst when it comes to assuming everybody else is bad. Clichés about americans are the worst tho (I mean no offense but imagine looking at trump from the other side of the ocean, through the eye of medias which build...

(and thanks for the spanish translation btw !)

Sooooo the best I can do is give you this link to the french sounds : http://www.4stepstofluency.com/french-pronunciation/ basically, you can forget about the second /ɑ/, it's more or less the same that the first one (so the right symbol is "a") and about /ɛː/, which is the same as /ɛ/, or at...

French from both quebec and france here To start I would say, I would love NEVER to go through ontario again. (oh and also Odessa, Tx. We last 38minutes, not even) That being said, I'm a linguist, and frenchies from france are fuckin stupid when it comes to linguistic variety of french. We're...

ah YAS thank youuu there's so much to be answered here that's perfect "straphe" is actually "strophe" but you got that right, it is a stranza in poetry Vowels are bitches in french. For real. I bet that guy wasn't from quebec or southern france because he didn't make a difference between in and...

Not really a serious question as most of y'all are in the US and I'm in France. It's that I've been living in the same city, studying, since september and it's getting boring. Anyway, here's my story : I got back from north america to france last september to start a master's degree to teach...

Hi ! Sounds like you want to escape routine but you're still a bit shy about it. Nothing to be ashamed of, I'm the same and I suspect a lot of people to be like this ! Surely smaller towns will be safer, although I think it depends on your luck and how you use your senses (which is not very hard...

I'm a street musician but I met one of these "statues"... You have to have skills and it's super tiring to stay still for long... These guys are definitely street performers ! I agree with you on the fact that while I was traveling I saw my street performances as a way to make a bitta' money to...

Thanks, you did a way better job than me haha

So this is a sad story There was once an abandoned cinema in Montpellier, France. Two years ago some people began living in it, and the more time passed the more they transformed it in something AWESOME where they would organize concerts and actual films and stuff... The cinema was in the city...

Well, the thing is that I think that no one likes to be called a gypsy... Except in the US where it's cool because the word meaning changed. But being from a nomad people and get called a gypsy is an insult, for what i know

Ohhh alright ! Thanks guys

Sorry guys but what does PC mean ?

Hiya I know it's an old post but i'm just wandering around on stp tonight I mostly agree with what eh OP said, but from a linguistic point of view (trust me, I'm a linguist) (this is actually true), it would be "okay" to use the word "gypsy" in the sense that the meaning changed. The only fact...

My name is Alice and I feel like I was doomed to be weird and somehow insane In primary school, kids didn't like me, neither after that but then I had a pack of people that weren't liked by most of the kids so it was alright I always felt "not part of it" but i think it is because of personal...

Thank you pal :)

Alright ! Well, if other people see them... Like I'm not in the US at the moment so it's just to say hi (i didnt get the chance to say goodbye)

Hey guys ! I'm looking for a guy I met in Santa Barbara, California, at the end of december/beginning of january His name's Jay, he has a very cute black doggy called Lux, plays the banjo and the saw. Last time I saw him he was hanging out with like 3 or 4 other people (can't really remember...

(Not for guys) Wear a dress ! You can't look dangerous in a dress Also, put your thumb really up in the air, smile, look like it's a great experience to wait for hours on the side of the road Also my father (who hitched a LOT when he was younger) told me that apparently the brighter the color...

Hi pal WHAT'S THE CRAIC

To answer your question @Matt Derrick : Idk, it's a tough one. It's my first time living in Quebec and above all being there without my parents so the experience is quite different. I would say I really like the language (which is different from the one from France), I mean that kind of stuff...

Yoooo ami francophone ! Ce serait avec un grand plaisir que je prendrais une bière avec toi, mais peut-être d'ici quelques jours parce que je suis pauvre as fuck en ce moment du coup il faut que j'attende ma paye. Hâte de parler de ton long séjour en tous cas ! pis à bientôt

Hey thanks @Anagor ! Guys, all your comments make me braver and make me feel like I can do this ! Thanks again :)

(i tried to quote for the first time, i hope it works) Hey that sounds like a pretty cool job ! What is it exactly ? Teaching ? And I had a more than epic time yep ! being far from home really helped I guess

Thank you very much @freegander for throwing ideas, I definitely have to do something about it, I mean it's about my happiness it's not nothing haha Also I'm really happy you enjoyed reading me, I was kinda concerned my writing would be too "heavy" and nobody would get to the end On a hand I...

Hey everyone I don't know if anyone will read or answer that post. I don't know if I need to be read or answered, but I do want to write about what I feel at the moment. See, I just got back for a 3 month road trip in the US. I'm french, and my father is canadian. That was my first time in that...

Heya ! I never actually visited the UK but I've lived in Ireland for 9 months. I'd like to go to the UK just to hear them speak though haha France is cool but the US is the shit, people are super nice it's very weird (especially when you're french and being rude is kinda your religion) for...

Thanks ! I don't know, there are lots of beautiful landscapes but I travel to meet people. I really liked NOLA because I just jammed with everybody in town for a week but California (and californians) was really nice too, especially the norther coast... But it's a big country and we could only...

Hey everyone ! I'm Alice, I come from france (my father's from quebec so i'm also canadian) and i just got back in montreal after a three months van road trip in the US. I met a lot of people there, a lot of travelers, dirty kids etc etc... Being back to "normal" life is quite depressing so I...
