lol. to be rejected in french is the worst!

Fortunately, I decided to study French, too. You know, because Canada’s so close to the U.S. and Spanish speakers would have to go all the way to Spain to use their skills. C’est drole.

Methodically copying and pasting into a translator is actually a nice way to discover the plot. Funny.

@jesteram: There’s Mexico, even though it has a different dialect.

Pauvre type! It reminds me of the last short (14me arrondisement) in Paris Je T’aime, with the American woman visiting Paris and narrating in her passable-but-atrociously-accented French. Je vais essayer écrire une petite histoire en français aussi.

@Stovohobo: How is “Mexican spanish” a different dialect from “Spanish spanish”?

Mayra P – you have hit the nail on the head. I watched Paris Je T’aime last week and the Alexander Payne short has been bouncing around in my head ever since. Didn’t even realise I’d written a poor echo of it until you said that!

That was my favorite short in the film. In fact, I had just assumed it inspired this piece.
@Stovohobo: Lest you think I don’t know geography, allow me to say I was joking. Most of my peers in school criticized me for being a Californian learning such an obviously useless language. I had to come up with a defense.

It makes me so proud to have understood this! And I’ve only taken through French 2! Vous etes tres amusant. :D

Funny little story and an impressive use of minimal vocabulary in the foreign tongue.

haha.. really good!

haha.. really good!J’applaudis votre petit histoire!
