Vraiment desolee!!

Do please forgive me for not updating in a while...well, since my course is fast approaching I am starting to think how I can brush up on my grammar......in the meantime, I 'treated' myself to a couple of nice things last week.

Paris themed storage tin

Eiffel Tower design sticky post- its

French fabric
Last but not least, I found this little cutie tucked away, forgotten I'd had it!!

Oh, the family & I went to see The Adventures of TinTin last week at the cinema which I believe to have first appeared in French.   Thoroughly enjoyed it!

A couple of my French friends Nathalie & Sophie who I keep in contact with have said I am most welcome to visit them. Sophie lives in Nantes - a part of France where I have never been to, likewise Natalie currently resides in Douarnenez........I can dream.......thanks girls!!!

    very cool. my maiden surname was Le Fleur and my dream was to visit Paris when I grew up. I finally have. Yay! learning the language on the other hand is a lot harder.
    Very cool to "meet" someone in my neck of the woods that loves French things too.

Mais non!

Change of plan - my intention to continue on studying French has been interrupted by the realisation that my current responsibilities/commitments come first with regards to my family and career - so,  I have decided to put this plan on hold for the time being.   I am disappointed but I know timing is everything, I am studying 2000% for my other language and doing very well in it, getting A's straight through.... This is not goodbye French, hello strange world. Rather it is hello to a fresh start and I hope readers will wish me luck in my endeavours! 'Surveillez cet espace!'

Is your language good enough?

French Proficiency Test Having not spoken French in a few years now , I thought I'd give this test a try. How much French grammar, vocabulary and reading comprehension do you know? See if you can beat my personal score of 75% (113 points out of 150)!! To get started, click on the link above. One of the potential professions that I was interested in learning more about during my student years was becoming an interpreter.... I did well in French & Linguistics but, sadly not so well in the interpreting module at university.     There are basically two types of interpreting; consecutive and simultaneous and it was the latter that I found extremely challenging.    (Generally you sit in a booth and convert the language as it is spoken to you). Are there many fluent speakers of French (learnt as a 2nd or 3rd language) out there?    I admit I had achieved near native fluency when I lived in France, but ...
