In my teenage years walking along Soho streets I used to see a lot of French lessons advertised on little peices of paper on the walls.

So did I , that's where I learned French , Chateau Gruad Larose , Chateau Petrus Chateau Lafitte !!

Thanks one & all for all your replies. I thought the post might attract some cynical comment which is also welcome!!

Hi Bucksboy,

There are a few online French (Language) Lessons available. There are also language courses which you can buy CD Roms for. One name that comes to mind quickly is the Rossetta Stone method.

It is pricey but once you have the discs they can either be shared by someone else who may be interested in Parlez Francais so the could be shared and that way reduce the cost.

Thanks but I have a couple of courses already and find I need the discipline of learning in a samll class or 1 to 1.

I see you are located in France....did you make the move from Cyprus?

[Cheshire Cat]

Hi Again,

Glad that you are sorted, Yes I spent a long time over there. I had a few good friends many of whom sadly died others moved away.

There are one or two people who are still there, we keep up to date via email regularly.

Are you planning a holiday to France ? I only ask because of you taking French Lessons.

[Bucksboy]

Planning to relocate to France (Probably Midi Pyrenees) when I can sell my house here in Cyprus.
It;s taking a long time to achieve and the resale market here in Cyprus is pretty flat.
Where are you in France?

[Cheshire Cat]

I am in SW France ( the Gers) . It is beautiful here, it took us a long time sell when we were in Cyprus. I hear that the water situation is pretty bad over there. Do you think that will affect the sale of houses. ?

We had a hard time getting our title deeds when we were over when we were trying to sell in Cyprus and we discovered that selling without them was almost impossible. We finally managed to get them, but, it cost us a lot of money, and a lot of stress.

Hm! Seems there is no French speaking people around to answer this post?

Maybe they just cannot speak/read English

Why on earth would anyone want to move to France???

Its a socialist country with lazy people and a complicated high tax system!!!

And 50% of the French speak English when they want your £$£$...
