Hello! My name is Claire. I was born in France, grew up in San Diego, California, and have lived in Minnesota for most of my adult life. I am a Speech-Pathologist. I love learning languages and using them when I travel. I am trying to improve my French, but would also like to brush up on my Spanish and German. For now, I am looking for a French language partner who would enjoy conversations about a variety of subjects.

    Californian accent

    I'm pretty sure that an accent is what gives you a unique personality especially when you speak a foreign language.
    I'm French and my main target is to speak English with the least accent possible. Some people find it easy to do.  They are able to hide a foreign accent.
    I really love the Californian accent and this is my favorite one (I consider it as a neutral American accent). Recently I spoke with a friend of mine from Philadelphia who told me that my accent was pretty good. He could hear that I'm european but wouldn't be able to tell from which country.
    Another one told me that my accent was closer to the midwestern accent.
    The Californian accent is my goal. Even though I know that I'll never be able to mimic it perfectly, keeping it as an objective is a good motive. (or: is good motivation)
    I spend a lot of time to speaking out loud to myself or chatting with my two and a half year old daughter in order to work on my accent. I think this is the key to success. PRACTICE!!!
    I love the way the Californian accent resonates in native speakers' mouths. It has something more than the others.

    *I grew up in California and never thought I had an accent.  :-)

    Well done Joffrey!

    Vendredi Enfin, c'est le weekend! J'ai quitté mon boulot avec une sourire sur la figure. Comme d'habitude (chaque Vendredi) nous mangerons du pizza ce soir. Quoi faire le samedi? D'abord, je ferai des courses. En suite, j'irai chez le coiffure. Dés mon retour à la maison, je prendrai un petit siesta (me reposer un peu). Je passerai ce qui reste de l'après-midi en faisant du scrapbooking. C'est mon passe-temps préféré.
