The English was really my mother, it was never me. Being the daughter of my father, I always felt very French.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We spoke French at home and I didn't know any English until I went to school. My mother was French and met my father when he visited France as a student on a teaching placement.
French was my first language.
Although I feel very French, a part of my heart is in the States. When my brother and I arrived, we didn't really speak any English, and when we left, that's all we spoke when we played together. It was just a beautiful place to grow up.
My parents are both Belgian-born, and so am I, actually. I'm bilingual, so I had experience with French.
I was born in Paris, and my mother was a French teacher, but then I rebelled against my upbringing and studied Spanish in school. So now I just speak bad French and bad Spanish.
Because I was born in Casablanca and my parents were from the south of Spain, I do not have a big central root in France. I feel French but in a few ways, not at all French.
I unfortunately don't speak French, but my wife is now fluent in English, which really reflects rather badly on me.
I do consider myself as being French, I suppose.
My father is Swedish and my mother is French.
I've always felt very English.
