    Thanks jgnat ... I'll give that a try !

    I've got 3 more exams to do to get my MCSE on Windows 2003 and I'll probably stop there. I could get some variations like MCSE Messaging or MCSE Security but these are just slight specialisations of the core stuff and the only other one is Desktop Support Technician which isn't something I'd be doing so would be a bit out of place on my CV/Resume. These last 3 exams look tough though !!

    One other thing that I've wondered about as well is the accent:

    Should I try and immitate whatever accent is being spoken to the letter? What does French with an English accent sound like to French people? ('cause English with a French accent is sexy as hell to us!! )

    You'll get what you want ... (Obviously)

    Jgnat's link is from Canada. I must say that the sentences are very well written and clear, they use very precise words on the topic they are talking about in quiet short sentences (and nothing appears like a big difference when written)

    About news : LCI is my loop TV channel here in France (not the best and most objective to me) but I do not listen to any radio. Faisoul, Markissos, Celia will probably find some Radios which fits your needs.

    ENJOY !

    Hi Simon!

    Thanx for your nice words about me on my language! I use my english everyday at work as I work for an international company. SO it's very useful. I got to learn my english on the internet by chatting with people and also by travelling a lot in USA since 1999.
    Also by watching DVDs, you put english language and english subtitle, it helps you a lot to understand and then learn different ways to express yourself front of someone, I really learned a lot like this.

    I am now able to think everything I want to say first in english as I am used to it with my work, it's really helpful and I react instantly when foreign people come to talk to me ! (But I don't do the Jean Claude VanDamme style LOLOL) I know how to switch from my native language to english)

    I'm glad to be on the forum, there are really such nice people here!

    By the way Simon, a girl, speaking in french with an english accent, is driving me completely crazy LOL ! I love it and find it incredibly cute !

    But for a man... hmmmmm... How to say....hmmmm.... LOL... Just keep on frenchbabyface's opinion hihihihi !

    Salut Frenchbabyface!

    En effet, je suis à l'origine de Paris en France. Je me suis installé à Genève pour mon emploi, car en Suisse les salaires sont le triples des salaires français, donc je suis vite parti de Paris, et à 23 ans c'est une bonne chose !

    En tout cas, je suis bien mieux à Genève, la ville est magnifique, on y rencontre des personnes de tous les pays du monde qui parlent différentes langues, grâce aux organisations internationales telles que l'ONU, OMPI, OMS etc..., c'est vraiment super ici!

    Et toi ? tu as quel âge, tu es d'ou ?

    C'est vrai que c'est cool de rencontrer des personnes françaises sur ce forum ! En tout cas, je suis ravi de faire ta connaissance !

    Simon, the only word you need to know in Quebec is "Poutine".

    Dunno......all I know about Canadians is this:

    They have no cuizine...when is the last time you said let's go out for some Canadian food?

    And as far as dialects...I've talked to people in Wisconsin tht sounded more Canadian than the Canadians I've spoken with! What can you expect from an entire country named Doug ?????????

    Salut Feisoul !

    Oui j'ai entendu dire que la Suisse c'est coolYes I've heard Switzerland is cool

    Et toi ? tu as quel âge, tu es d'ou ?

    Je suis parisienne de naissance, j'ai 36 ans bientôt 37 et j'ai toujours habité Paris ou sa proche banlieue (Maintenant : Levallois, frontière Nord-Ouest de Paris).

    I'm parisian from birth, 36 almost 37 and always lived in Paris or its near subburbs (Now : Levallois, North-West frontline of Paris).

    Moi aussi je suis ravie de faire ta connaissance ... I'm also very pleased to know you ...

    PS : I've been noticed as rude when not translating my french on here. It takes a little time to write things twice but I guess we have to as it is an English board.

    AND you're NEW ... WELCOME FEISOUL !

    Well, then I'm sorry if I offended anyone by posting a message totally in french without translating it. It was just a quick answer for Frenchbabyface.

    And thanx for your nice words, I'm glad to be on the forum, it's so cool in here !
