Mark, from Coffee Break French, left a comment after I wrote the previous post.  He said: "Glad you're enjoying Coffee Break French! Hope our accents aren't too difficult to understand, but please know that I don't speak French with a Scottish accent!!"  My apologies to Mark - He doesn't speak French with a Scottish accent. He sounds exactly like a Frenchman when he speaks French.   What I meant was that, in addition to  learning French, I would have the bonus of speaking my native English with a Scottish accent.   It was a very lame attempt at humor and I'll try to make myself clearer in the future.  In the meantime, I think you should all listen to Mark on Coffee Break French and join me in Paris next year.
