Learning French

Well, I met my land-lady today, and she is SUPER nice. I am very happy, and I met my other roommate, apparently only one other, which is a bit of a relief, to be honest, and he seems really nice, although Julian's accent is a little harder to understand than Steve's, although I think he de-Quebec'd it for me when he was talking in french to me for the 2nd time. (Because the first time I had to tell him I didn't understand a thing he said because of his accent...wow, tres poli, Brennan) so now that the 'logistical things' are taken care of, I can begin my foray into the super french, where I will cram before I go to the school, so that I can hopefully be placed in a higher class (although I highly doubt this will happen, I can still hope, eh?)

My land-lady speaks very easy french to me, making me VERY happy, and even if I don't understand a lot of what she says, I understand enough to give very small replies, which makes me feel less stupid. I will try doing a french-side blog, maybe, but first I have to figure out an easy way to write accents on my blog, since I have no idea as of yet, minus using a number pad with the ALT key, which is just too much memorization for me.

To write in french with the accents you can always just use the character map (under system start:All Programs:Accessories:System Tools) like I always do. It makes life easier than all that memorization stuff!
