Bonjour, comment allez vous? Je vais bien, et vous?
I am teaching myself French and my friend from Lebanon is helping me because she knows french.
Since I am hispanic-american et je sains angais et espagnol,It becomes something not so difficult for me to learn.

I am not rich either. I wish I could got to France but my parents don't have money to travel right now. But I know we will got to Montreal sometime because we want to find my lost uncle. But I will go to France someday.

Maybe for pictures, i'll make a website and put pictures that i took of the streets,freeway, and metro rail. I'll try to do that this weekend.

Well about countries thinking that the U.S.A is about money, I think it's sad but possibly true. It's so awesome that in France people don't try to make others inferior to them by not saying your salary. Here people do but it it doesn't happen all the time. Mostly people will tell you only if you ask. Unless if that person is arrogant and they want to tell everyone.

Ah, plastic surgery.
Yes, some people abuse it terribly and end up looking real ugly. Michael Jackson for example,looked so much better before the surgery now he looks like an alien or a weird creature. Is it possible many American people use it more here because they have more money? Or they have the desire for plastic surgery more than other countries?

i would just like to let you know that celebrities and rich people are what people from other countries see, but that's not what the regular people here are like. Most working middle class people here don't get plastic surgery or brag about their money or anything like what you see from celebrities because you would just not have the money for it.Some people here do wear brand clothes and stuff if you have the money but not everyone.

I really don't know what to think about French people since I have only met one. He worked at an auto body shop and was from Paris. I only got to talk to him for once when he asked me something in French and I just said c'est trop vite! It was hard for me to talk to because i was too shy to say anything to him but I felt mad because he didn't have any interest in talking to me.He wouldn't even look at me for a second.I don't think French people are like that. It was just the way he is.
I rented a video that was filmed in France to teach French and I kind of saw how people are like: They were extremely polite and said thank you to everyone even the cashiers.People were willing to help in directions and other stuff. It showed French people as very nice.also in pictures from books that that teach french, the french people look really happy. Other than that, I don't know anything else about the French, i'm sorry. I think it's because i haven't met enugh french people and television here barely ever talks about France. Except that Salma Hayek is getting married to a french man named Francois. It could also be that I still have many years left to meet people and possibly french people.

You know, I'm going to ask my teachers and my clasmates if they have any opinions about the French.

Au revoir,
Karen.
