Since childhood he has always seemed important to have the best French language possible knowledge. Once I had access to books, I liked the words and I was fascinated by the work of writers who knew, thanks to a clever arrangement of words, express ideas with clarity and create beauty. And that love has extended to the spoken language, whether in theater, film, television and, during my stay in France in particular, in activities of daily living. I found that the language spoken in France, for example, was not only clear, effective, she was also very attractive in its syntax, its vocabulary, but also in its pronunciation ...
I do not know if it's the most beautiful language in the world because I do not know the others (my knowledge of English, Italian and English, allows me to understand and not really compare) but I like French because it's the language I grew up. I was born in Quebec, but the "Quebecois" is not a language, despite all that want to tell those who do not bother to properly learn a language that would allow them to be included in the outside their backyard.
I counted on Alexander for the opportunity to improve my knowledge of English. But Alexander, with the great courtesy that characterizes it, made it a pride to write in my language, even if sometimes it required great effort from him ... His family have always written in French as well. Since I plan to come to London at least, to walk in the footsteps of Alexander, I will try to organize myself to be understood when I will speak in their language (without claiming to approach at all the quality of its language).
long time, I like to listen to British television programming, including comedy. Recently, I discovered the library of television series on DVD: The Forsythe Saga , Brideshead Revisited, ... not counting the movies I love, like Maurice and some others. The media depicts that are not necessarily the ones I access and action often takes place in the nineteenth century or early twentieth century, but I feel the same happiness to see these images and hear the characters s express that I had to see and hear French series as Kings cursed, At Pleasure of God ...
If in a few decades ago yet that human activity on Earth, I wonder what, in our time present, "viewers" want to see and hear for their construction and aesthetic pleasure. How many languages and cultures of this planet will resist the juggernaut American who?
I believe that wealth is in diversity and in maintaining distinct cultures and languages and proud of it.
Since this is my mother tongue, one in which I can best express what I really am, I am somewhat sensitive to the status of French in everyday life.

When I see something like this, I must say that I am not very optimistic. It seems to reflect a trend that is increasing in recent years in France, the syntax to express themselves in French but with English words. Display a unilingual English would be less shocking. This message, like so many others, is neither French nor English: more than promoting a product or service, this bastard language expresses my opinion degeneration language, which is probably a symptom disturbing I do not know what could be more serious.
We say it is not for Quebecers to lecture on the French language. The poor quality of French in Quebec stems from historical factors, from socio-economic context (this is not a reason for doing nothing, though). While the display that shows the photo above, taken rue Sainte-Catherine in Bordeaux (France). reflects only ridiculous snobbery and cheap .
