>>You are lucky that, if you decide to learn French, you have someone you can talk to. My wife speaks only Russian and English and she is (selfish) completely against me looking for French speaking girl friend. But my wife says that she likes that I study French since everything sounds very sexy in French. Even when I say something like "what is the good road to Paris?" in French <bg>.

I saw this one coming!

The illusion that french is sexy is a result of a century or more of successful cultural propaganda. These frenchies know how to do that.

BTW, I've seen that in the US they are called froggies or froggers. Which is funny, we have the same expression but it always applied to Italians (the guys who eat frogs and cats - although the latter happened only during the war, but that's exactly the time when we had the last mass encounter with them).
