J'adore Le Français!
I love French!
9 months ago, when I started learning this language, I never would have dreamed to say this out loud. I hated all things that related to fanciness or the idea of it, and I considered the French language as the epitome of all things fancy. No one would consider me a proud student. I even hid it from all my friends and family until someone told everybody! It was a brutal 9 months!
I've started to look forward to each class and learn something new. Each day, I start to see something that breaks my negative connotations about French. I've always admired their pastries, the Louvre, their architecture, and most of all, Madam Marie Antoinette (and her cakes!), but now my eyes have never been more open. I've always thought that they we're just wine drinking and cheese eating, but they are all just like all of us, friendly, adventurous, daring, funny, creative, and COOL!
Classmates slowly disappeared, and rooms got smaller, but I've met wonderful people who made the experience somewhat less arduous (wow big word! haha). Teachers became peers, and classmates into buddies. Classes shifted from ABC's to complex tenses in a snap! Games from simple higher or lower number games to the more competitive Pinoy Henyo, Taboo or even a full game of Scrabble! After all the hard work and bloody red papers, I have come to say J'adore Français!
I will never forget my days in this school! Now, I'm thankful that I have stuck around and because of this I have a brighter less dark future. haha. I want to thank all of my teachers Mlle Gaëlle, M Quentin, Mlle Graziellla, M Olivier, and Mlle Charlene. My classmates especially Ma'am Notch, Danica, Roxanne, François, Tristan, Elaine, and ati valerie. It was a journey and I hope to see you soon. Continuez apprendre!
