The World According to Shawn
Wednesday, August 22, 2007
When I was in high school I wanted to take french classes, but someone I ended up in Spanish, and I hated it. I had no interest in learning to speak Spanish, and I don't know why. I was always interested in French. I didn't get the opportunity to take French until I was at Northeastern University. I loved the courses and I learned alot of the basics, however I never practiced so after a while I forgot it.
When I started working at Interconnection a few months ago I was excited to get the chance to try to speak French again for the firts time since my classes. Instead of the proper stuff I learned, I quickly found out that the majority of them speak in slang. In the French language they really stress the pronounciation of each word unlike in English, but when you speak in a french slang it becomes less important, I suppose in a lot of ways that is like English slang.

Except, in the English language, if you approach someone and say, "you're cute, wanna fuck?" you'd never get laid. But, if you said it in French, you would get laid... and probably a bad case of Crabs.
