You''ve picked up this book, and you''re probably wondering, “Should I or
shouldn''t I?” You''re probably asking
yourself if it will be difficult, if you''ll have the time, if it''s going
to be worth the effort, and if you''ll stick with it.
My name may not be Dave, but here are my top ten reasons why you need to
study French
10. You love Colette''s romance novels.
9. You''d like to root for the Montréal Canadiens in French.
8. You loved Les Misérables so much that you decided to read the original
version in its entirety—all 600 plus pages.

　　It was when I was a freshman that I began to have some more intimate　
acquaintance with French. In that summer vacation, I borrowed some books for
learning French from our compus library. I just looked through them when I was
tired of playing with computer or wanted to get some relax by doing something
different from those in my routine. I neither had a goal, such as to learn it
to a somewhat acceptable degree, nor suffered a pain that should be paid for
a success, as many foreign language learners has.
　　French was not my second foreign language, which I wanted to know　
something about. Besides, I had some linguistic and phonetic knowledge and　
so I could render the international phonetic symbols much more smoothly and　
exactly. Something worth mentioning in pronunciation might be the nasalized　
vowels. I should be proud and felt lucky that I was Kunminger, in whose　
dialect they are used in a considerable frequency and is insubstitutable. I　
not only picked them up easily but also felt amiable with them. Until now I'd　
like to sing the French songs whose verses end with nasalized vowels.

　OK, return to the subject. I feel that I'm less aligned with the author.　

● I don't read novels much, but I did read some by French or
Francophonic writers, such as Hugo, however, they are Chinese editions. And I
don't think I am obsessed by them;
● I never dreamed of having a vacation in France;
● I do know what French Fries, French Kiss or French letter( ~:) )
refer to, but none of them am I familiar with;
● I'm not musician, not artist, not couture chasing or　
conducting the mode, not chef who can show of his gourmet cooking, not　
hairdresser who infatuates girls with his scissors or figure or vigour, and
not...
● I don't think I could attract someone by speaking French, but　
French words in a post sometimes do attract my attention from avoiding from
a kiss from a car by a audacious street-killer.

MMMMM....mmm~~~~, Euh~~~~~, et oui$%^&*

◆ I do like some French movies; e.g. [Fabuleux destin d'Amélie　
Poulain];
◆ I do have the feeling of palpitation when I read the biography
of some French men; e.g. [Evariste Galois], [Arthur Rimbaud];
◆ I love French Revolution; (no much relationship with French　
language)
◆ I like the tunes composed by Frederic Francois Chopin, who is
said to have a pair of "fragile" or "tender" hands; (a Polish)

　　I like, rather than love, French;
　　　none of the reasons above, or, potential, would make me less like it;　
　　　none of the preferences mentioned would entice, or, have enticed me
to like it.

People speak Germany and people speak French, which is more?
