Queen Mary I said:Only? Whoa! Impressive!
Given the fact that she is so close to Spain, and that she and the rest of her family go to Spain a lot (and Andrea is dating a Columbian) I wouldn't be surprised if she did know SpanishCasiraghiTrio said:It's possible she knows some Spanish too. I've wondered about that.
PLEASE, don't hate ME for the following comments, for these comments are the opinions and facts of two of my former mathematical colleagues at U. Paris, Profs. Jean Penon and Gonsalo Reyes, with whom I conducted research work in Paris years ago, and whom I emailed.soCal girl said:I think Charlotte is a very pretty and intelligent person. Her boyfriend is pretty cute too . But IMO these pictures from the soccer match or whatever, she seems a little smug...but don't get me wrong, I still like her and admire all the hard effort she puts into school. I know a lot of rich kids who don't give school the time of day because their inheritance will take care of them.
They didn't say much more in their email, but it was very mordant.assia said:I can't believe that her French and English are poor. So what does she speak then ? Both languagues and even Italian are her mother tongues so this is not possible !
I think anyone that likes or admires (or whatever) Charlotte has probably heard that she can be arrogant, snobbish, stuck up and all that kinda stuff. But if she passed her bac with one of the highest scores, and is now attending university but refuses to pay attention and rarely attends, then why does she bother going in the first place? And what do you mean speaks poor French, even worse English, pathetic Italian and nothing else?dw2108 said:According to Penon and Reyes, Charlotte speaks poor French, even worse English, pathetic Italian and nothing else. She seldom attends class. She seems arrogant and snobbish. She throws tantrums. She is not well-liked. She sits reading romance novels. Penon and Reyes are not optomistic as per her academic success, and compare her with her mother, who never finished school in Paris.
Penon and Reyes said that.

Yes, I can see that! But I still don't get it!!!!!!! You should write them back and ask WHAT DO THEY MEAN!! I really sorry for coming off so mean, but I don't see why she would bother going to school if she isn't going to pay attention and not attend! Not to be mean or anything!!! SORRY!!dw2108 said:Penon and Reyes said that. I DIDN'T!
I shall email them again, but I believe that I know already what they mean: Penon and Reyes have probably, prejudicially and somewhat snobbishly assumed that Charlotte is going to be just another spoiled brat WITHOUT any evidence to support such a claim. Profs write off students all the time before these students have any fair chance of demonstrating their respective academic potential. In other words, profs are often JERKS for no reason. But I shall email them and ask them for specific examples. That which concerns me is this: Penon and Reyes, being very powerful men, could affect a student by demanding of the student that which no one could possibly attain. And I hope that these guys don't do that with Charlotte or any other student. It's wrong to do so.acid_rain3075 said:Yes, I can see that! But I still don't get it!!!!!!!

Grace, all of you made a great point! I'm wondering why Penon and Reyes would act like (un-)academic mob hit men with respect to this family or anyone for that matter, especially when a child is still at the prep stage.Grace said:For all that we know Charlotte is not attending University yet, but a preparatory school, so how did she get in such a close contact with two maths university teachers?
I don't want to defend her with my post, I'm not even such a huge fan or hers, but I'm sure a person with her family and social background, even if she hadn't had a formal education, must talk French correctly, plus we know that she got her bac with the highest grade in her school (we also know in the summer she reads authors like Guy de Maupassant, not exactly romance novels...)
As for her English, I've heard Andrea speak and he seems quite fluent, plus we know from Michelle that both Caro and Steph tried to raise their kids as bilingual; maybe her English is not fluent, but I guess it can't be poor...
As for her behaviour we know nothing for sure, so I'm ready to accept what these people say, if they are a reliable source (too many times on the internet I've come across people who claimed to know the Grimaldi's personally and knew less than me who have anly read about them on magazines...David, I'm not refering to you)
Kisses
moby said:could you enlighten us as to what University these professors are from? thanks.
oh and i think it's impossible for charlotte to be horrible in french. she grew up in the french countryside, not even in monaco, and unless she's deaf or has a serious learning impediment, i think that part is bollocks.

According to Penon and Reyes, Charlotte speaks poor French, even worse English, pathetic Italian and nothing else. She seldom attends class. She seems arrogant and snobbish. She throws tantrums. She is not well-liked. She sits reading romance novels. Penon and Reyes are not optomistic as per her academic success, and compare her with her mother, who never finished school in Paris. It seems that Caroline dropped out of school to get married. Penon and Reyes said that this matter regarding Caroline's failure to finish, could be checked easily by searching the B. Phil. Theses stacks, only to find that no such mandatory thesis exists for her, meaning she never finished.
This was a let down for me!

Your Joking, right?dw2108 said:Who posted this garbage under my name and how did they get all of this personal information about me? For the record Penon and Reyes are retired from U Montreal and I doubt they even know anything about these people. I don't even know much about these people. I just come here to browse and learn.
I'll try resetting my password. Hope that will help.

Yeah, I guess. But I don't think this is at all funny!!!!!!!miau said:Right.
Thought so.
