Morocco # English board

salam

i know that there is a lot of french speaking yabiladi members living in paris, but is there any English speaking ones ??

salam

Here is one

Hi Shireen,


I though you live in the US, it seems to me you wrote it soemwhere in the forum,...

Come on, parisians compatriots, where are you ?

lol Hicham, why are you so desperate to meet Parisian English speakers???

And it is not working, they are ignoring me ... maybe they are afraid i would borrow money from them (translate to arabic, could be funnier )

lol, hmmm i must admit i thought the same thing too...

No, I don't think so, maybe they're just not many. I know there are few French here but you are looking for Parisians specifically which makes your search a bit limited

drawbacks of marketing, i did a tiny segmentation...need a headquarters meeting to fix it ....

Hi Hicham,

I have relocated from the US to Paris in 2003. I must have mentioned somewhere that I lived in DC. And Minniemouse is right, it is true that your niche could prove to be rather small . Let's wait and see if there will be any other reactions.

I am one by birth but left a long time ago, I go there from time to time but it has lost its appeal, too polluted for my taste, Brussels is a small town compared to Paris, although I still can't get used to that belgian accent, once a frenchy always a frenchy

I lived in Brussels 4 years, i think it is more difficult to get used to the weather espacially "quand ça drache" than the accent, on the contrary, the accent is funny, funnier is the accent of our brothers and sisters there, mixture of Rifia, tangier arabic delivered in a "cornet bag" with salt and Andalusian Sauce (sorry for the translation)...


Shireen, You are probably right, it's even a segmented niche, well i knew we would have had this forum drown if i hadn't make such a selection, it's so nice to have intimate conversations like this ........

Hi Hicham_A,

The accent was funny the first few months, after that, it just became unbearable, but you gave a pretty good description of the sticky fries with "sauce andalouse", they added recently the Coke light with it...probably to balance that "wonderful taste" or maybe just to avoid a coronary...

anyway,


i think belgian sandwiches, Durum and Pita are far better then parisian "Grek", all made of fat ...

where are you parisian compatriots .......!!!???

I speak a little bit english

so i think i can't consider myself as an english speaking yabi member ( "consider" exists)

salam chercheuse d'or,

yes "consider" exists in english,

Well, we all speak a little bit of english, and here you can learn to express yourself at least in written english

And for a frenchie, I think your English is pretty impressive especially if you have never lived in an anglosaxon country!

There are already 66 hits on this thread. Therefore I believe there are more Parisian Anglophones hiding somewhere

i don't know, maybe it's just curiosity ...

Don't lose hope Hicham, i'm sure they'll show up.

How about Parisiens in London? any takers??

Sorry Hicham, don't mean to compete with you, i'm just curious

send me a request by fax, maybe i 'll accept

Thanks for the compliment Minniemouse, but I have no merit for, we Moroccans, are gifted at languages. We grow up hearing 2 to 3 different languages at home, our brains develop an ability to absorb quickly early on. We're multicultural from the start, I see it as a gift not a curse, as some are trying to make us believe...

That's absolutely right Chelhman. It's definitely a gift which many people envy us for, and whoever is trying to make you believe it's a curse is merely jealous of you

95 hits and only 2 people living in paris

salam aleikoum

english speaking ?



are you sure ?

Salam,


We are in the place. We are juste a little bit shy.

More seriously, if many people read, but little answers it's only because the "Parisian" term is an attraktiv word. We feel concerned, even if we are not able to answer. It is also simple as it.

Take care & See ya.
