when the Spanish think you are German, the Germans think you are Spanish, the Brits aren't sure whether you actually understand when they speak English to you ....

When you consider a career in diplomacy, as it would mean using languages as part of your job, but reconsider
when you remember that there's the possibility that you could be posted in an anglophone country. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

When you think the most fascinating site in Paris is the two floors of the language bookshop Gibert Jeune. Forget the tourist crammed into the nearby Shakespeare and Co. This place is a magical store crammed floor to ceiling with every Assimil, and millions of other courses as well.

Where is that sacred place,DaraghM??? I haven't found it last time I was in Paris,
noone told me it existed!!! All the book guides, people guides and everything mentiones every ... but not such a wonderful place! A solid bookstore where you can even touch and leaf through the Assimil before buying... My own new findings: 1...when you automatically want to say grazie as the berliner waiter brings you the pizza. :-) 2.When you have hard time deciding whether to buy Deutsch-Spanish Lernwortschatz or Deutsch-Franzözisch version. I chose the Spanish one because hadn't had a similar book for Spanish till the moment. Edited by Cavesa on 13 August 2012 at 3:55pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's right in the heart of Paris at Place Saint-Michel. The name of the particular store is 'Langues et Lettres'. You can see it on their map here. I've just realised they also sell online. Now I'm in trouble. Edited by DaraghM on 13 August 2012 at 4:03pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||
