\tI always enjoy French lessons… that I understand. Today’s was just that. Of course, with company coming it hardly matters because it will be two weeks (15 days as they say in French) before I crack those books open again. Oh, maybe I’ll do my homework tomorrow during Kaitlyn’s lesson.<\/p>\n
\tAll pumped up after mastering some basic French grammar, I decided to give understanding the radio another whirl. There is one station that mixes music (mostly bad French songs) with phone interviews… mostly with people giving recipes.
