  • Did you grow up speaking this language? Or were you inspired by a trip abroad, an individual or a certain aspect of the culture?

    I was inspired by my teacher and the mechanics of the language. I grew up exposed to African languages in Zimbabwe and started French in school at the age of twelve. When I was sixteen I went to a French-speaking school in Vevey, Switzerland.
  • Can you name a living, historical or fictional character that you think is the emblematic representative of the language's culture?

    The 'Shakespeare' of the French language is Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, otherwise known as Molière.
  • Is there a typical word, phrase, tradition or expression in the language that you particularly like?

    "Liberty, equality, fraternity" describes the character of the French people well.
  • Why does speaking this language matter to you?

    Speaking ANY language opens a window onto the customs, culture, ideology and character of the people whose mother tongue it is.
  • What is the main difficulty in learning this language and what can help the process of learning?

    This language is easy for English speakers as it is 65% English related. However, English speakers have to get accustomed to learning the genders of all the nouns, unlike English. That is the key to a good start for learning French.
  • Provide a valuable anecdote related to your language learning or your days at school.

    When I was in Africa, I never heard the language spoken and my study of the French language was solely from books so I learnt thoroughly. As a result, when I got to French-speaking Switzerland it only took me a month or two to speak it with the correct accent as I already knew and used the correct grammar. The moral of the story : make yourself a good foundation for learning the language with whatever you have at your disposal.
  • How has travel or a specific trip helped you to increase your skill and knowledge of the language?

    Living and travelling in France and the French-speaking part of Switzerland certainly boosted my French language skills but reading French books and watching French films/TV keep my French language skills alive when travelling is not possible.
