With some light Googling I know that the Storm Troopers look was designed by Ralph McQuarrie as was much of the look in A New Hope. As a matter of fact it was Ralph's early drawings that helped sell the Star Wars idea to 20th Century Fox after being rejected at other studios before George Lucas had these drawings. However, I do not know if these statues were Ralph's inspiration. Anyway, I was in Barcelona .... in 1976. I was too young to appreciate it though.MikeUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888823701124458149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355278793018035676.post-26305913425103185112010-03-16T05:49:09.310-07:002010-03-16T05:49:09.310-07:00Very happy you like all that !!!

That kind of train of thought is why French people back in the 1930's were lucky to live past the age of 27.

It is the same for everybody everywhere (and I do not dare to say it is even worse for people almost deaf as I am !!!)<br />In fact we know you have made huge progresses and will make again. Just listen to a French radio (when not cross driving, it will help), or to Matthieu when speaking quietly. <br />And do not dare to speak, even with mistakes.(According to circumstances, ask people to point them or not). If YOU speak, you will keep the topic yours. So do I sometimes, as you may have noticed ! <br />You are doing very well and will do better. No problem !!!

Even though I'm supposed to have been learning it for more than 10 years... the slow learning curve may have many origins, one of them coming for some teacher-student incompatibilities :)<br /><br />Anyway, I feel the same way about the listening/speaking problems. Somehow I usually seem to understand the conversation, until some weird interpretations comes in... and I realize I've just missed quite everything of the point.<br />I won't talk about people with strange accents, mixing slang and idioms...<br /><br /><br />Speaking is even more frustrating. The sentence sounds so great inside my brain... until I have to spit it out!<br /><br />Spent 3 months in Brasil, and still don't know anything about portuguese but "hello", "thanks", "goodbye"... <br /><br />I think if you forget annoying grammar and conjuguaison, nobody will blame you... if you want to be able to express something, focus on the vocabulary!Romainnoreply@blogger.com
