France Two - Transcription
Also in Paris, um, I spent uh the first eight year of my life in Paris, and there I started, uh, I was like a little child when my parents put me like in a, give me some learning er English lessons. It was not very difficult (unclear) it was because to know a few words in English, and after it was, uh, when I was eight year old I went to live in Africa and Gabon for four years. And there uh as part of my um programs, color program, I have some English uh classes, and after I went uh to New York for one year because of my parents' works. And the only, they put me in the...mm...in the French school because they were scared that if I come back in France, the system would be different and it would be, um, I have to catch up the French system. Uh, so, uh of course there are's English classes more emphasized than uh normal French school. But, uh, the problem is that you always, uh...urg...er, hang a...hang around with uh French people, so it's more difficult, and after I went two years in uh London, the French uh Lycee, um it was completely French, I mean I was only with French people. It's kind of difficult to meet uh (t', t') local people because I think language is kind of barrier even though you have the (unclear) ba, the badic, um the basic uh things to to say. And after England, I went to back to France, (t') and there uh I start to do, um I I went to a business school um (t') where you learned kind of uh global, general knowledge. And, um, also have some Spanish uh classes, and also English, but I have more classes in English than in Spanish.
