Bonjour mes amis. J'espère que vous allez bien. La raison pour laquelle je parle en français, c'est que mon fils a été mis dans la classe supérieure pour les langues et il a besoin d'aide! Ainsi, la plupart de nos conversations sont un mélange de mauvais français ou mauvais allemand.
This is what happened - J had both a French & German assessment shortly after his return from being off with swine flu. Because he had so little time to learn I put in a lot of effort helping him to learn his vocabulary & he managed to get 90% in German which impressed his teacher no end. What we didn't know was that the combined mark of these tests was to be used to decide who went in the fast-track, top class, do GCSE early language sets which is where J now is & I am struggling with my poor French & almost non-existent German to help him. Actually I quite like German, although I've never done it before. It seems a bit easier than French.
Talking of languages the other day J asked me to play monopoly & I said I would in a moment just after I'd read my Bible & he said 'While you're doing that I'll just learn some New Testament Greek' & sat down at the laptop. What's going on?
I keep looking at the optional Greek module in my theology course & thinking 'Hmm, should I or shouldn't I?'
By the way I lost at monopoly. J always wins. This is because he's totally ruthless & puts everything he's got into getting hotels whereas I'm more cautious & hold out until I've got lots of money until I buy houses & then go & land on J's hotel on Mayfair & have to pay him all the money.
