Wow, I am onto my 3rd week of French lessons. It has only been 2 weeks but it feels like forever. It helps that it is every morning. With out busy schedules, when the classes are everyday, it is ok if I don’t get a chance to review in the evenings. I just practice and speak the next day.
The classes are awesome. The teacher is very patient and it helps that her English vocabulary is not the greatest. So we are forced to speak and explain things to her in French. My classmates are all eager to learn too so it makes the lessons fun, sometimes we get a little loud as we joke around, all in French of course.
My bike ride in the morning is great too. When I first started biking, it took me about 35minutes, now I am down to about 27minutes. At the end of the first week of classes, the week of rain started. The first day I took the bus, the next day I got a ride and then I realized, if I kept on taking the bus, it would defeat the purpose of my exercise and saving bus fare. So I bit the bullet and rode my bike to school. Denise had bought me rain pants for my birthday so why not put it to good use. I did get wet but I didn’t melt. So the plan is keep on riding till the snow falls. Since the temperature drop will be gradual, my body will adjust and it will all be good.
So these everyday french lessons are great for the body and for the mind!
