Au Cinema!

Natalie (a friend from class) and I have decided that today we will go watch a movie in French. French cinema is known to be creative, classy, historically important, and highly artistic, which is why we chose the film we did.



I'll let you all know how it is!

Class today was fine. I'm still deciding how I feel about the school -- there are still no textbooks and ostensibly no set lesson plans. I don't know what the objectives of my course are, or how I am doing. The second day of class was a total bust. We had to practice French through "theater," which meant being put on the spot all day performing random skits. And if you are like me and have received no instruction in French yet, it is extra annoying. But the third and fourth days have been better. I am picking up vocabulary and learning to say various useful phrases. While I would like more grammar instruction, I can provide that for myself thanks to a delightful bookstore called WH Smith, where I blew some serious cash on French learning materials. As you know, the proper solution to every problem can be found in a book!
