  • what on earth does she know about art? strange choice of speaker - lots of Australians have lived in paris - why not choose someone who knows about art...

  • The book " Almost french" in Czech language "Skoro francouzska" is such amazing story. I finished this book before one week, but I am sure, I will read it again. If somebody has tried to live in Paris and speak french, he or she must adore this book. Furthermore, it´s great feeling, that there is somebody who had the same problems with french girls, french habits etc.Good job SARAH!

  • i've almost finished almost french, it is a great book, i highly recommend it! she's really different here on video to how i imagined her to be from reading her words.

  • I've just finished reading "ALMOST FRENCH"...... and that's how I found this video.... just like the writer of the previous response..... I highly recommend the book for people whose heart is beating for two countries.... I'm Hungarian, living in the USA with an American husband.... I could relate to a lot of things that were in the book.... Thanks Sarah for this wonderful book.....

  • After reading Sarah's book, Almost French, I wanted to know more and found this video. I think the observation that in France there is a blurring of art and life is so astute. I highly recommend her book.

  • Googling for Sarah I find she is in Sydney and no longer schmoozing around Paris trying to fit it and spending a lot of time whining (I wasn't a fan of her book) about hard to understand French customs.

    Nevertheless I too have always liked the Musee d'Orsay and its Impressionist world one can escape to. Good topic but too much drivel Sarah.
