My feelings exactly. A part of Pierre lives on in "French in Action". Every time I watch "French in Action," I'll remember him.

I read "La Femme parfaite est une conasse" (160 pages).
Some parts are funny. But most of the book is packed with out-of-date American stereotypes.
And every other sentence ends with an exclamation mark!
In any case, it was a short read. I read it in 2 days. And, it has a lot of slang, so I shouldn't really complain.
P.S.
I am using the number of pages from the book's listing on Amazon.

I wrote an entry on lang-8 the other day. It turns out that passé composé and imparfait are used differently.

I have put "Moi Malala" aside and am reading "Le parrain(The Godfather)".
I have read this book a thousand times but reading it in another language is a treat.
I have also watched 127 minutes of "Le dernier parrain (The Last Don)".

Hey Napoleon! I haven't been too active for a couple of weeks, but just wanted to say HI! :-)

@nancydowns
I've been busy with exams at college. I've been forced to put Arabic on hold. As for French, I've watched some TV and read two books. But that's about it.
