Well, except that you could use a little work in speaking French! That aside, you start talking in French right away, trying to get caught up. The first thing they want to know is what you have been doing for the past ten years! As you sit there, you suddenly realize this is going to be a very difficult French conversation.

Learn French with FrenchPod101.com! After months of e-mailing with a girl you met online, she finally writes in French, “Do you want to meet?” You definitely do, but you’re worried that perhaps the French reality won’t live up to your expectations. You reply in French, “Of course! I am so excited to meet you. Let’s pick a day.” You decide to meet on the weekend for coffee at a French cafe and to see what develops from there. When the day arrives, your palms are sweating and your heart is beating as if you’ve been running for miles. You hope she is as she has promised herself to be in French in your e-mails, but you never know what may be.

It will be so short-you can sit still for thirty minutes!” But still, your heart races…she is so fascinating in your online French chats that she HAS to live up to the hype…but will she?

You are flying into France next week to participate in a seminar the French-based company you work for is conducting. You know enough French to communicate fairly well, but you have not practiced speaking in French in quite some time. Suddenly you realize you haven’t even booked a room at the French hotel in which your company will be staying! This phone call to France will be one you will never forget! You try to explain what you need to the hotel clerk-in French that could definitely use a refresher course. You tell the French clerk that while you’re in France, you will need a desk and a very well lit room because you plan to study at night. You want to be able to study at the table, desk, or even the bed if you choose! Sounding a little confused, the hotel clerk asks you again in French, how many people will be staying with you. When you arrive at the French hotel, you are astonished to find that they have placed you in a four-bedroom suite! You explain to the front desk clerk in your broken French that they must have made a mistake! They look at the reservations and confirm that you asked for at least four lits in the room! All around you, your colleagues check into their rooms without a problem. Embarrassed, you accept the room, not wanting to admit that you should have taken that French course your boss recommended. I wonder how much overtime you have to work to pay for a four-lit suite in France!
