Hi there,
   I'm Natalie,a Chinese currently living in guangzhou since 2009.
   I am looking to a lauguage exchange(French) here since I am planning a trip to Paris this autumn.
   Also,I'd love to share and reply any helpful experience and informations.

Welcome to Expat.com Natalie :)

I think you should also post in the classifieds > language exchange

all the best,

Julien

Thx,Julien.:)

what is your plan in Paris?
Is just for travel?

YES

I go to France every year for business. Thought about learning some French for pleasure. On my way back, one year, talked to a lady at airport that I met every year over there. When asked if she wants to learn French, she said : Doesn't justify to learn a language which you are using only several days a year. Cruel comment, but it makes sense to me.

Well I am not saying Natalie shouldn't learn it. I just mean its too hard for me.

thx,KF,these messages also make sense to me

I wish I could speak French. But given the time/effort needed and the application that I can put the language to. Its a no-gainer. Not a student anymore, so I need to be prudent with the allocation of the rare resource - time...

Glad u don't think my comment is nonsense.

of course not
even learn from that
thx
