The French Connection
Since French is my mother tongue, I would like exchanging on the general subject of French culture, language, history.

Any of you speak French ? Or only 'un petit peu' ? Or interested in French culture ? Or would like to know how to translate a word into French ? Like to hear from you.

I do not wish to start a separate, isolated group, so I think the general exchange should remain in English, so everybody can participate, and maybe learn something about French culture, 'the richest in the world'.

Hey, that's a good starting point. Is French culture the richest ?

Connaissez-vous Franglais?

C'est le best mode to parler en holiday, avec les locals, either en France ou in England (or toutes les autres cultures who parlez Franglais)

One type of franglais : shiak
Acadians in some parts of the province of New Brunswick in Canada speak a mixture of French and English called shiak. The result of a culture made up of mixed French and English history. Of course, like all popular dialects, it will probably slowly disappear.

I am myself half Acadian, but my mother came from a part of New Brunswick where shiak was not widely used.

And it is from my mother I learned the importance of speaking English in our little French island of Quebec in the big sea of North American English. (If you pick up a map of North America, the province of Quebec is really quite big. But in political importance, it is a small island.)
