I wrote a song in French; while in France [I Speak French]

French has many cognates with English words...
table (taaabulll) is (tab. blu) in French; just a different pronunciation.

Sunflower is tournesol...turn e sol...turn to the SUN.
I learned this while riding the TJV from Lyon to Marseille.
Beautiful "champs des tournesols", Fields of Sunflowers.

I wrote the song but haven't recorded it yet. Should.
Tres Francais in the feel of the melody as well.
I can hear it recorded with accordian!
France is a beautiful place
and French is a hard but beautiful and very diplomatic language.

I have sung in many languages. But French is the only other language in which I have written a complete song. I love French composers: Gounod, Faure, Polenc. and singers, Edith Piaf.
I love the movies that are placed in France: Ratatouille, Midnight in Paris (must see) and Amelie. (R rated... such a GOOD story; with subtitles) and Life is Beautiful (warning; hard movie to watch; so good).

Have you seen "Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis"? If not, watch it. It's soo great. Really it's the spirit of France in 90 lighthearted minutes.
Oh and I don't see French as a hard language.
@helenS I haven't but I just put it on my "watch list". Merci beaucoup!
