Every time I cover a freshly baked good with thick layers of it I hear angels sing. Butter is really misunderstood in North American culture and deserves to be loved and respected in all it's beauty! World peace could use a little help from our friend butter no doubt. I have a ridiculously expensive pot of French butter in my fridge from my boyfriend (he won major brownie points on that one).

I was in French immersion and in my class we called in Franglais! Unfortunatly I haven't used my french in three years and I am sure that if I tried to speak it now I would definitely be speaking Franglais (or Frenglish) :) Frenglish…love it!

SAME experience as you...I came with very little French in my vocab and improved tremendously, but my best advice to you is to keep it up when you go home. It is so easy to get wrapped up in real life, and I'm hoping to take some courses or find a conversation partner when I get more settled. Also--I was really bummed when I was there because I too had no time to travel outside of France. But you've got it down...so few people who study abroad actually experience the country they are in. My bf and I went back to Europe this summer and visited all those countries I wanted to as a junior, but we had a lot more time and were not rushed. It was the best! Hope you have an incredible time...it goes by too fast! PS Their butter is the BEST. And I have lots of faith that our food systems are changing towards that ;) I studied abroad in France and lived with a host fam.

I really should have continued on in university, but I decided to take German instead. I find French is easier to navigate than German, that's for sure. I wish I didn't have such a bad relationship with fats or I would love to use salty butter ... I agree that it's just divine! And full-fat dairy ... once in a while these things aren't bad, but I'd hate to fall too in love with them. :-) I don't have the luxury of getting to WALK everywhere, living in the country.
