Six Word Memoir

     As I was working on my senior memoir, I actually decided to save my six word memoir for last. My main idea right now is "Je souhaite que pourrais parler francais," which according to many internet generators, roughly translates to "I wish that I could speak French." It was supposed to be sort of funny because its actually in French, but it was mostly inspired by my Europe trip because I fell in love with every city I visited, especially Paris. While I was on my trip I promised myself that after I mastered Spanish, I would start learning French because I would love to go back to Paris and really immerse myself in the culture and I am thinking about studying abroad there when I go to college, although that opportunity won't come for a few years. Europe had a huge impact on me and I feel that the experience was very important to my senior year, so I felt that it was appropriate. Going there only reinforced the love for foreign languages I have and I would like to eventually be fluent in many. Also, because I hope to have a career in the art world, I think speaking French and Spanish would be helpful because Spain and France are such art capitals.
     Anyways, I would really appreciate the help of any kids who take French (I take Spanish) who would like to help me write it correctly in six words because I'm sure what I have now isn't totally correct, as internet translators have a tendency to not be right.

  3. I am like 98% sure I know who his is even though you didn't post your name hahaha. I think this is a super cute idea for your six word memoir, especially since everything I come up with is just a bunch of dumb jumbled up words that don't really make sense. I envy your creativity and beyond that I know that you will someday master French, I have total faith in you. When you go back to France, watch out for the gypsies "laissez moi!" hahaha

  4. Killer idea, I can't even think of a six-word memoir. While I don't really have the same love for french that you do, I really connect with the idea of looking for ways to progress yourself constantly. Best of luck with that French stuff.
