Je t'aime ze French Way

French is ze language of amour.

French is ze language of love! Oui, oui it's true!  Well, according to linguists, it is one of the five spoken romance languages.  Sorry, I don't think the English language made that list.

Forget Latin lovers, French is synomous with amour! Oui, it's part of their DNA.  Have you ever heard a French man speak  English with improper grammar, poor subject and verb agreement, but his sexy French accent made life worth living again? AHHH, ze French accent has that power! 

As I can't deter Americans from  getting engaged under the Eiffel Tower or planning their honeymoons to Paris this St. Valentine's Day(so cliché), however; it's my obligation to teach them[Americans] some French words of endearment.

Yes, the  above list might seem like the French always have food on their minds, but who doesn't?  So this Valentine's Day, remember you don't have to take your date to an expensive restaurant...consider learning this simple French words even if you pronounce them incorrectly. 

Remember flowers will wilt, chocolate will expire, but it's ze words that will stay in her cœur toujours!
