After all these months, I prefer not to use years yet 😂 I started formal French class. I am not sure how it will end up as it keeps reminding me about my Spanish class which I dropped out of after 2 months. But for those 2 months, I went on time to Foothill Community College every morning at 8 AM. It was different as the medium of instruction was English; now everything is French. It is not difficult to understand what the teacher is saying, but it is very hard to form a full sentence correctly in French.

I applied for beginner (level I), but after writing the test last week, I found myself at level II yesterday evening. This must be due to my wife, who made sure I did well in this test. Maybe I should not have answered so much as a beginner, but I did not want to miss this chance as this class starts only twice a year. I would like to thank Daniel (my office teacher) as well. Maybe I could have learned better in the first place by paying more attention to him and secondly if those (office) classes were at regular intervals.

I have to admit the class looks good with the dynamic and hard-working teacher. She looks like she is going to make sure her students learn to speak and write proper French. Most of the students are of Asian origin, females who are working as housemaids in Paris. Well, I need to memorize a list of verbs and their conjugations now for tomorrow’s test.
