I am staying in Paris and I am excited for the games, especially as I managed to score some tickets. However I don't live in any of the areas impacted and I am avoiding the areas where you need a pass because I don't want to deal with it (I have heard from others who've done it that it's a nightmare right now). Once the games officially start I may regret it tho!
Thank you Betty for the correction! I think I interpreted the 'de' because there's a small lilt with the 'e' after 'n'importe' - I continue to learn. :) Good luck to your daughter, I hope she can enjoy it!

You have the right idea, Moriah! Good luck and draw some sketches for us!
Pro tip: it's "n'importe quoi." Thought you might like to know!
On another subject, my daughter lives in Paris and indeed things are getting complicated. She is trying to get excited about the event, however.

Yes, and sometimes the expression is pronounced slowly, with the -TE as a separate syllable. So I can see where one could think that.
agreed. no desire to be in paris right now. i experienced the olympics in Atlanta i 1996 and that was enough for two lifetimes!
I'm sure it was! I just don't like dealing with masses of crowds. Besides, you get a really good view of all the competitions on TV. :)
