Introducing my French blog: “Sans Accent”

In an insane move on my part (as if I had plenty of free time), I have started a new blog in French “Sans Accent”. As I explain in my first post, the idea has been on my mind for a while. That blog will have a broader scope than Software Only, and will deal with topics related to France and/or the French community - including politics and general rants about what is happening (or not happening) “over there”.

Sans Accent means “without accent”, and refers to the fact that whilst I will make an effort to write in French, I won't bother with putting accents on vowels (which I don't have on my Qwerty keyboards anyway).

The feed for that blog is here.

I read your blog with interest as 'entrepreneur', 'us based' (for 16 years) and 'french born'.

I did sign up with 'expat blog' not long ago.

Too bad I cannot be there for Wine Camp, sounds like fun.

Bonne Chance

Bienvenue dans la blogosphère française et francophone alors !!! Je suis toujours surpris de voir combien de gens parlent français en seconde langue :-)

Welcome on-board then, and take care, don't talk too much about "strikes" or "entrepreneurship" it's a matter of raw over there :-)

So long !

Jeff, you are just to lazy to type the accented chars which are clearly available on every computer through alt codes. ;o)

And good luck with writing in your native language - I am assuming it will drive you a bit nuts but may be worth it. Usually bilingual people move from their mother language to English. ;)

Nicole> Yeah sure, I could enter accents through alt codes - as if writing in French was not hard enough ;-).
