Quote

I grew up in France, my first language was French, and I tend to gravitate towards French cooking.

In addition to the research, I enjoyed learning French and assimilating the culture of another country.

I don't ever want to stop learning. And I really want to learn French fluently. It would be great to go and live in France.

You get the feeling that many of my guests feel that the French language gives them entry into a more cultivated, more intelligent world, more highly civilised too, with rules.

When I got to college I simply decided that I could speak French, because I just could not spend any more time in French classes. I went ahead and took courses on French literature, some of them even taught in French.

One thing I can say about the French language is that no one in the world loves their language as much as they do. It doesn't matter if you're close - it still sounds terrible to their ears.

I read French much better than I speak.

My first language is French. I just love words so much, and in French it feels like I can say whatever I want however I want.

I've been learning French a bit through my work with Longchamp, and I've been in France quite a lot. And I really love how they express themselves. I especially love when something is untranslatable.

I learned French before I learned Spanish.
