last night was my first french class! yayyy! i'm FINALLY learning what i've been wanting to learn for years. after buying cds and trying to learn that way, i figured the best way was to take an actual class. i'm taking it at schoolcraft in livonia. i laughed to myself as i got in my car before leaving for class. i realized i didn't have a notebook or any writing utensils. it's like i forgot how to go to school.
the teacher, madame rickel, is wonderful. she's super nice and genuinely excited to teach others to speak her native language. yesterday we learned how to count to 60, how to say what things are and what they aren't (example: "non, ce n'est pas un livre. c'est un stylo." "no, it is not a book. it is a pen.") we learned how to ask where someone is from and what their nationality is and how to answer those questions.
i'm really excited to think that i may actually know how to get around if i EVER go to france. oh and madame rickel asked me if i've ever had french before because i was catching on so quick and my pronunciation was really good!

marie, how fun! i love spanish...but french is really beautiful. i just want to learn it so that when i do, i speak english with a french accent. actually, since that probably won't happen, i'll just move there and pretend to have one.
C'est fantastique! Je parle (en peu!) so you should definitely start writing your blog en francais! Congrats!
You pick up quick cause you have a background with a different foreign language. It's supposedly easier for us. The worst is being in a foreign language class with people that can't pick anything up for the life of them! I'm not trying to be mean but it's so frustrating! Dina, remember that in spanish???? I'm kinda jealous...Dina, wanna take the spanish one?
what a gorgeous picture...i'd love to be there!
