> When my mom and dad were in school (I am 34), The teacher would spank their hands with a ruler if they were caught speaking French. As soon as that generation of people die, I am afraid that we will lose our French heritage forever.
I'm afraid too. It depends also on your State and your Governor to protect this language and its legacy.
> I can understand French, but I can only speak it a little. Our parents spoke French when they did not want us kids to here what they were saying.It is sad. I wonder why they did not want to. Anyway if you want a family course i can always do a little trip there ;-) I think i would love the Mardi gras and my little little cousins ;-)
> I am also sure the the French we speak is very broken.May be may be not. But i'm sure you have a nicer accent than a pure anglo :-) On my side i'm not bilanguale. I'm at ease to have a good discussion but no more.
> Do you guys say Sha!!!?I don't know what you mean. Sha what? Tu veux dire : "ça" ?
Bye.
