The sentiment

Salut, Severine.  Je suis américain, donc mon sport preferé est le baseball.   Nous jouons aux États Unis des sports très bizarres, non?

Bon études!

Mt. Fuji is a mountain in Japan.  The landscape is amazing!  High on the mountain there is snow.  There are 5 lakes around Mt. Fuji.  One day I would like to climb the mountain and see the sunrise with the Japanese.  

Vous avez oublié que la montagne est aussi un volcan, non?  LOL.  Non, je rigolais.  J'éspère que vous allez passer un bon semaine.  

Brexit

Great Britain tries to prepare for Brexit. The Prime Minister Theresa May wants a soft Brexit. She would like to quit the E.U. but to  while preserving free exchange whith with the european countries. Some members of her party does not agree with her. Boris Johnson, for exemple example,  wants a hard Brexit. He defends the idea to completely cut frankly the links between Great Britain and E.U. In fact, the Brexit decision of Brexit  provokes provokes many violent debates in Great Britain.

I never use "likewise" without incorporating it into a repsonse to a compliment or well wishes that a person gives me. Its just not a word that gets used very often outside of those circumstances. For instance, somebody might say, "Have a nice day," and a common response would be "Likewise," i.e., "I hope you have a nice day, too." You wouldn't respond with "similarly" in that situation; it wouldnt make any sense. Outside of that situation, I would just avoid using the word "likewise." It's a bit confusing, to be honest.

I would suggest any of the NPR podcasts that are available. "Shittown" and "Serial" are both really good. They're both investigative journalism podcasts with a multi-episode format that can really suck you in. I love practicing the language I'm learning (in my case, French) because I'm able to slow them down to a comfortable listening speed and then increase the pitch for a second listen through. I'm pasting links to those podcasts below: https://serialpodcast.org/ https://stownpodcast.org/

There's a new debate raging here in France. I wonder if it's the same in the U.S. or in the United Kingdom, but we French love a good controversy. Too many days can't go by without a new one. The subject of the latest is the gift by the American artist Jeff Koons; he wants to give the French people a gigantic hand raising a bunch of tulips. It clearly references the Statue of Liberty and the artist dedicates it to the memory of the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris. So why a controversy ? Some people say the location the artist chose for his work, in front of the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris, is not appropriate; it's not on the spot of any of the attacks and it's going to alter the character of the avenue. Really, I'm not sure all memorials are exactly on the spot of the events they memorialize. And the argument about aesthetics is as old as modern art; doesn't anyone remember the Louvre Pyramid? Another argument is against the artist himself. Jeff Koons is "the symbol for an industrial, spectacular and speculative art." But isn't our Eiffel Tower a symbol of industrial and spectacular art? I won't list all the other arguments because otherwise I'd go on forever. Long story short, they don't convince me either. The fact is that I usually have no interest Jeff Koons' work. When he held an exhibition with a lobster and rabbit at Versailles, I didn't see the point. So I'm actually suprised at myself for standing up for his work, but I'm absolutly not convinced by the arguments I've heard and read.

This morning I get woke up motivated with by an idea. I would like to develop an application that will allow people to learn Haitian Creole with a native speaker's voice accent. It is challenging because there is no online resource that can read Haitian Creole words or sentences; I will have to record everything. I have to think twice before start working on this project.
