i begin to learn the words that are not words at all - sounds that are far from meaningless but whose sense you would be hard pressed to find in a dictionnaire:

(bahhh oui, euhh, en fait, en fin, euhhh, how to pop your lips and shrug - which is to say : euhh franchement je ne sais pas, donc, du coup, bahh non, and to finish every sentence with quoi. "et euhh j'aime la fromage quoi.", oop! euhh fin--,  bahh et voila)

also the level of someone's drunkenness depends mostly on how long you stretch out the word. "il etait bourré"  "il etait bouuuuuurré" "Il etait booooooouuuuuuuuuuurrrrééééé quoi" 

the reasons i have gathered for everyone to come to france si possible are as follows
- you can have sushi delivered to you on the back of a moped
- it is not at all strange to be a socialist
- it is not at all strange for strangers to nod and tell you "bon appetit" if they see you eating in the street
- it is not at all strange to sit at the tables outside MacDos (Mcdonalds) like its some classy cafe and smoke a cigarette after you finish your hamberguer
- they have like 7 different words for which english only has one:  "pastry"
- in french being right or wrong is not something you are, it is something you have
- goodbye = "au revoir" meaning literally until we see each other again. everyone says this to everyone even if they are pretty positive they will never see you again


c'est pour ca en fait euhhh, donc bahh oui
