¡Viva la revolución, camaradas!

Wait until you hit the pronunciationsI am brushing up on my Español. If I must do Banana Republic I might as well do it properly and move to somewhere like Argentina.
Yeah I heard about the j instead of the y sound down there. I learnt Mexican Spanish back in SoCal at school, so that would be very different.Wait until you hit the pronunciations
For eg: vanilla you'll hear as ' baneesha'
And the BA dialect, never quite got to unpack lunfardo.
Well, I eventually became fluent in Ocker, so given time...And the BA dialect, never quite got to unpack lunfardo.

The difference in pronunciation from Mexico and the west coast of Sth America to Argentina is extraordinary. Spanish people can't even understand people from BA.
And devil's island, the original house of horrorsWhat's France's most successful colony frog? Quebec? New Caledonia? I like Vietnam but I'm not sure what you left them except for bread sticks which produced the amazing Banh Mi.
Not off hand may take awhile to find something would could look even quarter decent.As pointed in my post, the french ideal of intellectuals sipping coffee, not working, hating money and fromenting revolution is not exactly an economic winner.
We did well a lonnnng time ago by helping the creation of the USA (constitution etc), and Napoleon thru his European empire did bring civil laws, democracy systems,engineering and national schoolings, police department etc..but since the fall of France after wwi..no real french colony I would dream of...
Africa is a dumpxxx where the french intellectuals created their own anti colonialist movement, and where most countries have been going backward in the last 50y..but for population numbers ,numbers now overriding the colonial power on the mainland.
Places like la reunion, and Guadeloupe are a kind of success in a multi racial and multi religious integrated into a french nation/lifestyle but the last 30 y of socialism has transformed these in our equivalent of NT: multigenerationsl welfare dumps in paradise.
At least, even the far left there is not yet planning to give them yet the voice?.
So no brilliant ex colony or still attached colony I can think of.
By nature, the heavy PS, centrally controlled french government does not fit well with a distributed territory.
Paris making decision on the legal fishing size or rent fixed price in st Miquelon off terra nova, or Tahiti....nope does not work well.
And we left these government models as legacy in former colonies.
Maybe someone can think of a success story?
Jorge Luis Borges writing of his countryfolk : "The Argentinian is an Italian who speaks Spanish, thinks French and would like to be English” (“El argentino es un italiano que habla español, piensa en francés y querría ser inglés”)." disappointed by Chile.. and expect same in Argentina... .a leftist mindset, arrogant, lazy and pseudo intellectual.. .all same points leading to the fall of my native country which I could recognise with horror in Chile... expect to see same in Argentina
He's read Animal Farm.Hey I like this guy.
This could so well fit to France, and to Chile from what I could see there .He's read Animal Farm.
NOT Really !Argentina to formally join BRICS 1st January 2024 , along with 5 other nations
