One that I've come to learn is almost always perfect is the use of English words in French:<BR/><BR/>Le blog<BR/>Le marketing<BR/>Le shopping<BR/>etc...<BR/><BR/>Those are the ones I can think of now at 6:20 in the morning, but there are lots more. <BR/><BR/>I hope that's clearer. :-)Michael Salonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294866381143537391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-44278316133464265212008-02-01T12:55:00.000+01:002008-02-01T12:55:00.000+01:00superbe perspectivesuperbe perspectiveOlivierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602980523811128510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-49605270962762958442008-01-30T23:07:00.000+01:002008-01-30T23:07:00.000+01:00Ok michael!Btw I'm curious to know these words, if...Ok michael!<BR/>Btw I'm curious to know these words, if you remember, which are feminine in French.<BR/>Sorry for my English which is not always totally clear.

There is a cafe that just opened up a couple of miles away from me - the owner-chef was trained in France, and he makes macarons! I seriously thought I was going to start crying tears of joy when I found it! So, if you're ever in Southern California, you can get them here, too. Also, I don't know if Williams-Sonoma has stores in Brazil, but if so, their recent catalogue sells macarons from France that are shipped to your door frozen!!
