As we are planning a holiday to la Belle France together, my friend Rebekah was recently asking for a list of French music and movies so she could get acquainted with the language. It prompted me to share a few ideas in a blog post.
I have been living abroad (Ireland, Australia and back to Ireland) for the past thirteen years and my main language at this stage is English. I obviously have not forgotten my native language, French, but I find myself struggling a bit with some vocabulary and formulating sentences (believe me, it gets giggles from my family when I go visit them). I guess this is what happens when even your thought process is in English.
Since I want to keep up with my native language, I make the effort to include it a bit more in my every day life (plus, my lovely Irish husband has been taking lessons to improve his French over the past year and insists on practicing it on a daily basis; this is helpful for both of us!). Here are a few ways to put a bit of French in your life.

On our last trip to Australia, after staying in Melbourne we took a short flight to Sydney and stayed there for a week, catching up with family members. We had already visited Sydney a couple of times when we were living in Australia a few years ago so we had done a lot of the touristy things already.
Just like the post about Melbourne, all the photos are taken with my iPhone and I will share things from previews times I visited and from my most recent trip.
