J'habite à Paris!: Unfortunate Juxtapositions

21 March 2006

Learning to speak English? Be careful which dictionary you choose...

At least the editors of our French-English dictionary were careful to keep drink and drive off the same page.

[insert your own tasteless Eddie Sutton joke here]

Just for background, here's a who's who on this blog:

Amy - me
Colin - my husband, who will post entries on his own from time to time
Didge (short for Didgeridoo) - our dog, a bassett hound/Australian shepherd mix
Rachel - harpist and recent Michigan graduate studying abroad in Paris
Tasha - harpist from California who we met through Rachel
Annie - graduate student in Spanish at Michigan, teaching English in Paris this year
Muriel - former exchange lecturer for French at Michigan and a native Parisian
Isabelle - my French/English conversation partner
Michelle - graduate student in French at Michigan, doing research in Paris this year
Doug and Stephanie - a couple from SE Michigan, who we met through Rachel. Stephanie works for Deloitte and Touche.
Colin and Maggie - a couple from Southern California, who we met through Doug and Stephanie. Colin works for Deloitte and Touche.
Sophie - Colin and Maggie's dog (also known as Didge's girlfriend)
