The French Lumiere brothers invented the first movie, which, at the time, was called a “moving picture”. The French’s love of movies began then and has continued ever since, evolving into one of the favorite things to do in Paris. The French are the leading film producers in Europe. Their movies are often categorized as author movies (deeper and less commercial than Hollywood productions).

Paris is filled to the rim with movie theaters in order to satisfy the demand of locals who go to the movies at least once a week among other things to do in Paris. Parisians like authenticity and prefer to see movies in their original language even if that language is not French (such as subtitled English movies in Paris). Because of this, English speaking visitors get things to do in Paris with opportunities to see English movies in Paris. Movies shown in languages other than French (i.e. English movies in Paris) are tagged with the Acronym V.O., meaning Version orginiale (original version).

Traveling in a foreign country can be frustrating if you do not know the language. Travelers who do not feel that they have quite reached a comfortable level in the local language of their destination can learn a new language by taking traditional language classes at home before their trip.

You can also learn a new language by using a portable translator to get by with pre-recorded sentences. However, an alternate solution is the award-winning product used by huge corporations and government agencies to learn a new language, Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone products are great and easy to use. These programs allow you to learn a new language and feel comfortable speaking your new language within just a few weeks.

Rosetta Stone helps you speak Italian while visiting Rome, Spanish in Madrid or English when walking the streets of Miami Beach. While you are preparing for your vacation, book your Miami Beach vacation rental or Hawaii hotel online with travel agencies that offer their services in different languages including French, Spanish, English and Portuguese!
