What do they call a Lucy in France?
I've put together a video blog for you all! (I'm totally keeping up with my New Years resolution...) It's rather short, and not particularly riveting, but until later this week I'm not going to have time to write anything meaningful. (It was my last official teaching week and things were a bit crazy.)
So you get this! Whee!
And I think I've managed to fix embedding, so you don't even have to go anywhere to watch it!
And I didn't mention in the video the spelling. Unless told, French people never spell my name witha "y". It is always "ie" which makes more sense when you consider how Lucille is actually spelled. (Though I spell it the non-french way with two l's at the end instead of just one. Language is fun!)
As always, I do like feedback. Was this painfully dull, or actually semi-interesting?

I love this! You're dynamic and the subject is so interesting too! I noticed the same thing - home everyone calls me Ash but here my friends seemed to be surprised when I told them Ashley was often too long for us and Ash is easier.
ReplyDeleteLove the video blog idea, would be a whole lot easier than writing everything down so I think maybe I will start one too!
Yay! I applaud you for being brave enough to do a video blog! Love it!! My nickname (mainly in the States) is Lulu, too, thanks to my last name starting with a U. :)
ReplyDeleteNot boring! Love, you are never boring! I learn something every time I read/watch one of your blogs. And now I've got even more things to call you. Did you know you and Alex are the only ones who call me Lyd or Lyds?
ReplyDeleteAs usual, my first comment didn't get posted. Where do these go? Somebody else's blog? I just dont' get it - but I do get you. Are you going to become a LuLu upon your return? That is the name used by your Great Grandma's closest friends. Not family - friends! love you! Mom
ReplyDeleteAs usual, I am reading these way late (yes, I realize you are home now...).
ReplyDeleteI like the more cultural spin of this post! I love to hear the different pronunciations of varying words between languages, and I thought this was very interesting!
Btw~ when you say Lulu, you remind me of an owl. :)
