Thrashed in French class
There is nothing to take my confidence and rip it to shreds like learning a new language. Yes, I am able to get my point across, yes, I am able to converse for an hour and a half but just when I feel like I’ve arrived at a new station, the next train has already […]
Unabashedly wishing I was fluent in French
I read a post earlier today that made me think of my quest to learn French. I’ve been taking classes for two and half years and can now make it confidently through a Disney movie with no subtitles (that I’ve seen before). This is progress. As I read this post by a fellow blogger […]
Last day of French immersion classes – I feel like a real Frenchy now
I did it! 15 hours of French language instruction this week and I am so proud of myself. We played many games in our class, including Alibi, and explained how we cook our favorite recipe (mine was a salmon dish), we talked about riding the Metro in Paris today, and if that doesn’t get you […]

We have “y” and “en” and direct prepositions like “la,les” and indirect prepositions like “lui and leur.” I’ve been […]
Want to brush up on your French? Then read French novels with me too
I had quite a proud moment today when I finished the last page of the funny little novel that broke my heart a little. I have never sat down to read a full length novel in French before, just because it seemed like something I’d never be able to complete. I surprised and delighted myself […]
