nihonggo and french are music to my ears
it is a norm to hear different languages about in sydney streets
but these 2 stand out
i am always stopped to enjoy their melodic rhythm
i sat opposite a french-speaking couple in the train once
they must be canadian-french,
as they didn't look parisian french to me
they boarded the train in excitement
the girl saying something about her mobile phone
and the guy showing off he knew just the thing to do with it
they then settled in the seat in front of me
giggled some and resorted to whispers
thankful i can distinguish one language from the other
thankful too for the opportunity to eavesdrop ----
if you can call listening without understanding that
