The problematic question of when people in France began to consider themselves part of a French nation, with a specifically French national identity, has often been explained in terms of the modernizing progress of the French language at the expense of regional dialects. In fact, the development of French identity in rural France can be seen to have taken place alongside a continued tradition of local cultural practices, particularly in the form of patois. French identity must be understood in terms of the relationship between the official discourse of the metropolitan center and the unique practices of the country’s regions, rather than in terms of the unambiguous triumph of the former over the latter.

Classes might be available in your area. Or an online program like Rosetta Stone (expensive!). Livemocha is free and I use it to keep the language fresh in my mind. I highly recommend Livemocha!!

Bonne chance!

I’ll try to instruct.
1-Seperate 3-strands of har (like you would do if you’re doing a normal braid)
I find it easier to stand when doing this
2-Holding one strand w/ the left-Index finger, the middle strand w/ the , Left Strands, Flips over the middle strand, middle finger and the right strand w/ the right hand; ready…
now take the left and middle strand, and twist.
3-Take the right-hand and righ strand, twist, so that this strand is now in the middle and the middle strand is now on the right. Repeat… LOL, I’m sorry hard to explain, what I’ll do is video and send to you, may be that’ll help.

but basically what you’re doing is taking the left strand, twisting to middle, grabbing it w/ the right hand/strand and twisting the right strand to the middle.

You know we Americans can’t give good directions.

the easiest way i found to learn, is to watch dvd’s …
in french with either english or french subtitles. i like french subs because you can read along with what they are speaking, word from word. and then practice it yourself. but its also hard to follow along if you don’t have english subs. pick a movie you know really well and have scene a hundred times. for me i chose finding nemo. that way i already know the storyline and can have both subs and audio in french.

second: use yahoo chat and join a channel that is based in a french country. like canada or france. try to have conversations with some one who knows both languages. they’ll correct your grammer. this will help you learn sentence structure and translate words,
but it does not help you speak and pronounce them. that is why i suggest dvd’s.
