Hey Owen, it was good to finally meet you last Friday. Just saw your post here from three years ago. As you correctly guessed, I am not Armelle (who could ever be her'), but I was, and still am, acting on her behalf!

One more thing, i would like to add that(my personal opinion, what i felt so far.)
One should have atleast some or basic knowledge of the language before starting it.
Thank goodness i already went through with Dorothy Richmond’s “Practice makes perfect:Basic spanish” and that helped me a lot understanding it and using it.
Ahorita por lo menos puedo escribir y charlar facilemente.
Van a hacer muy bien si usan regularmente.

I am using it for spanish, right now i am almost to finish second level(maybe still 30+ hours are there)
Now i can see that it teaches you grammer as well but their method is somewhat different than traditional language teaching, i hope once i’ll be through with all the 5levels of it, i will have better listening, understanding and reading capability.
I don’t expect, it’ll do miracle for me but it sure is a good way of increasing your knowledge of vocabulary and...

Hey! Owen
Thanks for sharing the heart felt, no watering down honest truth about your French experience.
I spent 5 months in France as an exchange student 6 years ago.
I went myself, had about 2 years of intensive study of French at that time. Felt very isolated, and lonely, the local kids all had their own cirlces, and none of my freinds was French. This did not help me in terms of keeping up with the study at uni, very vulnerable, very trying experience.
So, France could be just any odd...

BTW – if anyone wants “proof” that the Weber Q200 and Q220 BBQ can be used with either butane and propane WITH NO MODIFICATION NECESSARY (except of course an appropriate regulator for each gas type, here is the faq directly from weber’s website:

Comment on Using a gas grill from the US in France by H

I am also living in France (Corsica, actually), and brought over a nice Weber Q220 grill, because the same one here is over 300 Euro! (It was only $200 new in the US…)
I brought it over as one of my “suitcases”, right in the shipping box.
So now I’m trying to figure out how to convert it from propane to butane, and found your blog. After a lot of research, and reading from people who say there are HUGE differences between propane and butane.. I think the truth is...
