Jules: Hola. (waves) Mi nombre es Julia. Bonjour, mi nombre es Julia. (Stern face.) Hallo, ist mein namen Julia. (Smiles.) But you can call me Jules. So, I've been learning new languages lately. One of them, you're probably not even familiar with. My dad says it's important to be "cultured", whatever that means. As you can tell, I'm new at this, so I'm sorry for my pronunciation. Also, (reaches toward the camera) I'm new at this. I hope it's working. Now back to language. The one I prefer most would have to be French. I guess because it sounds so beautiful. Not coming from me, of course, but if you actually listen to a French person speak the language, it's so amazing. Like the way "bonjour" rolls off your tongue. Bonjour. Bonjour. Bonjour. It's the romance language. Wow, I must seem really lame. When I talk in French, I mostly think about going to France. Sitting in a... French cafe and reading a great book, just looking at the Eiffel Tower. My parents travel a lot, and my mom said that Paris is one of her favorite cities. I hope I can go there someday. So, what else? I like to read a lot. I just got done reading "The Count of Monte Cristo". I guess I like to read so much... because my life is pretty much dull. And I mean, in that book, there's so much intrigue and romance and adventure, and it makes my life feel not so dull. I think I can relate to the main character in this book. He had to be trapped in a dungeon for many years. And sometimes, I feel the exact same way. Wow, that was kind of depressing, huh? I hope I didn't bore you too much. Maybe next time, I'll find something more interesting to talk about. Au revoir. Bye.
