Wow, into week two now of the French learning. Gotta say, it's mind-numbing at times, but it's worth it when I am seeing some progress.
I have now also signed up for a night course at Algonquin College, which I will be doing for three hours a night, twice a week.
I have to achieve a 90%+ mark with LRDG to move forward in their program. At this point I am scoring 60%, but I am loving that my tutor notices that I am trying to participate more and more and has scored me top marks there.
Can't learn without continuing to try and participate.
Here is a little conversation with my tutor. I had to explain my family:
Je m’appelle Adam, je viens de Port aux Basques à Terre-Neuve et je suis marié, ma femme s’appelle Jodi, elle vient de St. John's à Terre-Neuve. Mes deux enfants s’appellent Paige et Sadie. Paige a X ans et Sadie a X ans. J’ai un frère et une soeur. Mon frère s’appelle Michael et ma soeur s’appelle Sonya. J’ai X neveux et X nièces. Un de mes neveux s’appelle Gavin, il habite avec moi, il a X ans. Il est soudeur. Il vient de Paradise à Terre-Neuve. Mon père a X ans et il s’appelle John. Ma mère a X ans. Elle s’appelle Elaine. Mes grands-parents sont décédés. J’ai une vingtaine de tantes et d’oncles et une soixantaine de cousins. J’ai une belle-soeur et un beau-frère. Mon beau-père a X ans et ma belle-mère a X ans.
It's not the best, but I don't think it's the worst either. I'll take it as progress.
Oh, and I removed numbers and replaced them with X's since you don't need to know that info.
Happy Tuesday all. :-)
It's onward and upward from here.
