- Ouvrez, ouvrez la porte, Nanette, la jolie ! J'ai un beau bouquet à vous présenter; Ouvrez votre porte et laissez-moi entrer ! — Ma mère est dans sa chambre, mon père est en colère. Et moi qui suis fille de si haut prix, J'ouvre pas ma porte au milieu de la nuit ! (Chanson populaire)
Beautiful photo! Ours, in jr. high was : "Bonjour Jean." "Bonjour, Marie." "Comment vas-tu?" Très bien, merci." I'll bet you've learned a whole lot more since the early days! Me, I do work at it...
"La (le?) plume est sur la table" is still my very best phrase but I hardly ever get to use it. I had Learn French in Your Car tapes for a while. I quit when the phrase was "He will live a long time." Now when would any of us use that???
And Hiker, in HS I was too shy to have heard that much but now I imagine a lot of Parisians are thinking it!
I think if I got inside I would find that "la plume de ma tante est sur le bureau de mon oncle." Did you learn that little song in French class, V? (Actually, my mother used to sing it to me, and she studied French in the 1930s—so before our time!)
Ouvrez la porte aux oiseaux...
ReplyDeleteGros bisous
Ha ... but what would lay beyond V.
ReplyDeleteThat's a useful sentence!Here we used to learn in english:" my taylor is rich, Brian is in the kitchen"!!
ReplyDeleteou est la biblioteque??? (my favorite phrase from HS French!!!)

Early phrases learnt, are never forgotten.

I would gladly open the door and take a peek inside!
ReplyDeleteI love photos of doors and fancy door handles...they are so inviting. This is a lovely door with an exquisite handle.
ReplyDeleteI learned that then, too! And to ouvrez la fenetre!
ReplyDeleteMakes me wonder what is behind that door.
ReplyDeleteMine was Fermez la bouche, but then I was in middle school.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo!
