French

You Should Say "Cafe au Lait"

If you were to visit Paris, you'd be content to hang out at a cafe most of the day watching the world go by. You'd love watching all of the fashions and interesting people. And maybe you'd even get inspired to write or draw a little. You would appreciate how the simple things in Paris can be so good. Coffee with milk. A walk to through the park. Buying bread. You wouldn't be like a normal tourist, trying to cram in as many sites as possible. You'd instead take your time and savor every moment.

What Should You Say in French?

1. I don't like coffee.
2. I don't speak French.
3. I have no interest whatsoever in spending time in Paris, or most of the rest of France. The reasons I would spend time in Paris number few: a quick trip around the Louvre, a quick trip to Versailles, go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, taste some of their vaunted cuisine (especially the bread), and to stock up on wine. So, a weekend trip would be sufficient. At most.
