Download or read book What French Women Know written by Debra Ollivier and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Los Angeles Times bestseller! "A Gallic prescription for living a life that is richer, more sensual, messier, and a lot more fun" (Boston Globe) It's not the shoes, the scarves, or the lipstick that gives French women their allure. It's this: French women don't give a damn. They don't expect men to understand them. They don't care about being liked or being like everyone else. They accept the passage of time, celebrate the immediacy of pleasure, embrace ambiguity and imperfection, and prefer having a life to making a living. In What French Women Know, Debra Ollivier goes beyond stale ooh- la-la stereotypes, challenging ingrained notions about sex, love, marriage, motherhood, and everything in between. With savvy, provocative thinking from French mistresses and maidens alike, Ollivier presents a refreshing counterpoint to the tired love dogma of our times, and offers realistic, liberating alternatives from the land that knows how to love.
Download or read book The Way of the Linguist written by Steve Kaufmann and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Way of The Linguist, A language learning odyssey. It is now a cliché that the world is a smaller place. We think nothing of jumping on a plane to travel to another country or continent. The most exotic locations are now destinations for mass tourism. Small business people are dealing across frontiers and language barriers like never before. The Internet brings different languages and cultures to our finger-tips. English, the hybrid language of an island at the western extremity of Europe seems to have an unrivalled position as an international medium of communication. But historically periods of cultural and economic domination have never lasted forever. Do we not lose something by relying on the wide spread use of English rather than discovering other languages and cultures? As citizens of this shrunken world, would we not be better off if we were able to speak a few languages other than our own? The answer is obviously yes. Certainly Steve Kaufmann thinks so, and in his busy life as a diplomat and businessman he managed to learn to speak nine languages fluently and observe first hand some of the dominant cultures of Europe and Asia. Why do not more people do the same? In his book The Way of The Linguist, A language learning odyssey, Steve offers some answers. Steve feels anyone can learn a language if they want to. He points out some of the obstacles that hold people back. Drawing on his adventures in Europe and Asia, as a student and businessman, he describes the rewards that come from knowing languages. He relates his evolution as a language learner, abroad and back in his native Canada and explains the kind of attitude that will enable others to achieve second language fluency. Many people have taken on the challenge of language learning but have been frustrated by their lack of success. This book offers detailed advice on the kind of study practices that will achieve language breakthroughs. Steve has developed a language learning system available online at: www.thelinguist.com.

Download or read book FRANCE Guided by Saint Louis written by Louis De Montarlot and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting new way to discover France France is the most visited country in the world. Most visitors want to see Paris only, for its monuments and museums, or the French Riviera for its glamour. When the French regions are discovered, it is mostly through wine tours, restaurant experiences, or sporting events. Catholic tourists often limit their pilgrimages to Lourdes, Lisieux or Chartres. Most of beautiful smaller cities, a large part of provinces which is the real heart of the country, remain unknown by millions of tourists from around the world. How many of them have been behind the unique ramparts of Aigues Mortes, door to the wild camargue, or in the old streets of Brioude, so typical of Auvergne, or in Soissons, in the rich Picardy, where the French Monarchy originated? Many want to go beyond, to understand the spirit of some hidden places. But they need a purpose, a plan and a flexible schedule to suit their time and budget. This book is for them. The goal of their trip will not be the Eiffel tower or the Louvre, Cannes or Monte Carlo, the Champagne or Burgundy cellars, the Tour d'Argent or Bocuse starred restaurants, the Tour de France or Le Mans racing events. It will be the discovery of a largely unknown France, guided by one of the most important kings of its history, Saint Louis, in the cities he loved and the splendid monuments he created in the 13rd century. Thanks to him, you will visit 10 lovely towns and discover not only what he saw himself eight centuries ago, but also what is to be seen today. Even Paris, which is included, will be rediscovered from his view.
