Welcome To All The Newcomers

Bonjour tout le monde (bohn zhur too leh mohnd). Hello everyone

Thanks for the nice responses to my site. For all you newcomers, the reason for this blog is this:
1. For me to keep at studying my French.
2. For you to learn with me at a relaxed & non structured pace. (No grades or report cards :)
3. I will not teach unnecessary phrases or words that you will probably never use if you visit France (such as drain-pipe, soil, grasshopper, oboe, etc). We will only concentrate on words & phrases that we would need if we go on a vacation to France.

I will not dwell on grammer, or thousands of verbs and every possible past present and future combinations that they teach in the books. My purpose is to learn needed words and phrases so we will not stumble around Paris trying to find someone who speaks English. We not be fluent in french through this site, but we will be able to somewhat communicate to people when we get there. Where I work we have thousands of tourists visiting our store, and they do not speak perfect English, but I can tell what they are trying to communicate to me. That is what I want to be able to do if and when I ever go to France.

As I am a beginner also, Any comments, or suggestions, or corrections will be greatly appreciated.

So in the meantime, everyone have fun with this blog, practice the phrases in your head all day long, & enjoy. -Roy
