My French vocab for the day. Now I’m a happy paris girl. I hate to use the word expat. I prefer to think I’m not one of those. So I’ll just say what Francoise hardy said: oui mais moi, je vais seul
Agree fully on the word 'expat': in my experience, people who use it to describe themselves tend to consider their host country as a hotel and a bundle of services, and show little curiosity towards the culture, the people. . .
Also, while this was not intended as a way to teach French, i'm glad it serves that purpose too :-) (second time i get this feedback).

Merci de me lire, et bon weekend :-)
I’d love to hear this being spoken as I desperately try to adapt to Paris
