The Voice

Posted on 5 May, 2012 by Emmanuel

French people have got a funny relationship with their language. They give t almost a godlike status. There are laws regulating it. If you make a slight mistake people will usually let you know, which can be very discouraging for learners. Yet, the latest reality TV show has got an English title: the Voice. Why didn’t they choose: “la voix”?

Do you love your neighbour? Why do you use your phone while driving then?

Posted on 4 May, 2012 by Emmanuel

Each time I see someone using their phone while driving, I want to start shouting at them (and what I want to say is not very nice). I hope you’ll never use your phone in front of me. Why? Just watch this video and you’ll understand.

The stranger (Camus): I am rather enjoying it.

Posted on 3 May, 2012 by Emmanuel

L'Etranger (Folio)I recently saw on the Gospel coalition website that they were starting a series of posts on reading classics of literature. They are starting with Camus’ The stranger”. It looked interesting and since I have never read it, I thought it would be a god idea to read along. Then my Friend Alan wrote on his blog that he was starting it. this further motivated me and I bought my copy yesterday. It is still time to take up the challenge. It is actually a fairly short novel and the pace is quite slow: 1 chapter a week. You can catch up by following the links:

An evening at the football: En avant Guingamp against Le Mans

Posted on 1 May, 2012 by Emmanuel

A few weeks ago, Jean-Baptiste and myself were given tickets for tonight’s match against Le Mans. It was good. Guingamp played well, but we lost count of the missed opportunities. The last few minutes of extra times were especially exciting, but they missed each time. Final result was Guingamp 1-1 Le Mans.
