- Looking for great "Narco" bands to improve my Spanish
Can you guys recommend me a good "narco" band to improve my Spanish. I remember listening to Los Cuates de Sinola during an episode of Breaking Bad and thought it'd be a great and entertaining way to learn spanish.
What are you favorite bands and songs?
Thx for your help
April 10, 201631 - Proverbes et motivation
Hi friends,
I just started yesterday a facebook page on which I will try to post a daily motivational quote or proverb in French about self education (language learning among others) and self growth. Feel free to drop by! https://www.facebook.com/dosedemotivation
Salut les amis,
J'ai juste ouvert une page FB hier sur laquelle je vais essayer de poster des citations ou proverbes en français sur les sujets du développement personnel et de auto l'apprentissage (des langues entres autres). N'hesitez pas à aller faire un tour
Peace,
Remi
November 22, 201411 - How to translate "Ménagez-vous" from French to English? Hi friends, I'd like to translate "Ménagez-vous!" from French to English. I came up with: Don't push yourself too hard. Be gentle with yourself Take it slowly I was wondering if there was an idiom or a better way to express this idea. Thanks, RemiOctober 30, 201430
I was totally joking... No worries!
This guy is a famous stand up in France, or used to be. Anyways, he's from Marseille and has a strong southern accent.

But TV and radio are 99.9% mainland accent, which you can find in most major cities such as Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux etc...
Pronunciation is important in language studies but I wouldn't worry too much about my accent and try to focus on enjoying the language first. A lot of people like the American accent and appreciate when you try to speak French with them.
The cliché that you might have of French being unfriendly towards Americans (or other tourists) comes from Paris (and I'm not joking this time). Did you know they were Japanese shrinks working in Paris to help Japanese cope with their stay in Paris?
To answer your question, mainland accent is understood everywhere. I even travelled to French speaking countries in Africa and had no problem whatsoever!
