French Class - day 2

Today is Theophany (old style).

Blessed Feast!

Hard to believe that we have Theophany after Zacchaeus Sunday.

Let's just say I savour my mint and

chocolate chip ice cream

while I can.

(In modest portions of course).

Today I...

*was 2 minutes late to class, oops. still getting that bus route down

*found some quiet places and feel a bit more oriented

*bought a paperback French/English dictionary by

Merriam-Webster for cheap $$

and they did not have the word

sister

in the French half!!

Really.

I looked NUMEROUS times.
sœur

was not there.

(It was only there under the English side).
Sœur is one of my new words of the day.

My beloved sœur sent me

a chocolate bar

from Romania with my Romanian friends

and a letter she wrote in English and Romanian!

She and her husband are working hard in learning Romanian.

I am proud of them.

Oh, right about my class and such.

So I made 50 new flashcards

and have 200 more that I wrote the French too

which were words in my book that I will need to know

but that the teacher did not say to learn...

yet!

And I think I got my

Être - Je Suis very endings down (for the present indicatif ) today!

Well.

I have more français to study now.

THANKS everyone SO much for your encouragement

and thanks Alana for the link to flashcards...

not sure if I will buy it

but will for sure use the site for studying... so Thanks!

I did not know about this site!

I have been using LiveMocha as well,

which various people in the blog world told me of

(Thanks again).

If there are other sites or tips on language learning,

let me know!

I am totally into person-to-person information gathering,

as they say in the library world.

Hope everyone is doing well!

I need to be disciplined for the next hour and a half

and then I hope to read a few blogs before

my small night prayers and bed!

I am so happy (though at times quite overwhelmed)

to be studying French full time.

It is such a blessing.

Oh, about the picture.

Just thought it was cute.

When I was not feeling well this past weekend I shut the blinds

to rest but moved my Icon so Cleo could still see out the window.

Cute, eh?

Oh, and the black books on the book shelf are my

Agatha Christie books.

Yep.

I have over 80 of them.

I am serious about my Agatha Christie! :)

(A friend found them No Lie for 50 US at an antique shop

in the States for all of them -

mint condition, less than 1.00 a piece. I have almost all of the books that she wrote).

Okay.

Homework calls...

Oh and the Christmas tree.

Well it was just Theophany today... :)
