Billy_Brown_girl Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi all MFC'ers! Sorry to begin another thread, but I didn't know where to put this message (I wanted to be sure it is going to be read!) So, as the title say, I need advice from you. So, that's the problem: I live in a Montréal suburb (Canada). CaroLollipop heard on radio that there's a rumor about Mika coming to the St.Jean festival this August (this town is not so far from mine). I don't know what to do, because I know that if Mika comes to St.Jean, he will probably not sing in French. My goal is to hear him sing in French (it's my first language), cause I went totally crazy when I heard him on the Internet. And on July 16, I know he will be singing in French, for the Francofolies festival in La Rochelle, France. But do I take the chance to fly to France in July? I don't know if I want to pay a big amount for this. The programmation of the St.Jean festival will only be revealed in July. Aaaaaa I don't know what to do! I know that if I go, it will probably be the better experience of my young life (I will turn 18 in May!) I will be major and I will be able to use my new freedom, but I'm still hesitating. Will I regret to go see him in France if I come back and learn he's doing a show in my region? What do you think everybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will definitely sing his heart out in French (I wish I could go but I already Paris and Nimes on my calendar). And u do want to celebrate your 18th bday non? If I were you, I'd go to France in July on vacation and, if Mika decides to do St. Jean in August, then plan to be back then so u can see him a second time. Don't chose between the icing and the cake. Have them both! :roftl: BON COURAGE !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabdash Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I would say go to La Rochelle. He will sing in French, you can have a celebration of your 18th, feel grown up (lol) and genereally have a fab time. And then when the list is announced if he is performing in Montreal, go there too!!! Or can you not? Off topic but hey, I do French at school, I'd love to be able to speak fluently, I have so much respect for people who can speak more than one language. I am trying to use French as much as possible to do well at school in it - I really want to do well in it!!! SO here goes at some very amateur French: Choisis aller a La Rochelle parce que La Rochelle est belle. J'adore La Rochelle comme j'ai allé a La Rochelle mai dernier. Plus, si tu vas aller La Rochelle tu vas adorer beaucoup Mika. That French took about 10 minutes!!!! Was it accurate?? lol:naughty: I don't think it is but hey ho!! Yeh, I think you should go to France, I would if I had the chance rather than staying in my home town! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, I think you should go to France, I would if I had the chance rather than staying in my home town! You French is OK, be sure I understood everything. Continue to practice like this if you want to succeed, it's the best way to improve a second language. I know everyone understand my posts on the forums, but I'm not bilingual You're on the good way!!! And thank you for the advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
