So that tiny 6eme child made me a little hangy photo frame thingy and another got me chocs - they gave me these presents with a handmade late birthday card at the end of my last lesson with them. They said I was their favourite teacher. I have been in their lesson thrice I believe. . . I'm not sure, but I think this means I'm the BEST TEACHER EVER. Or, that even 11year olds will do anything for a good grade in France.
My lovely sister and her boyf are coming to stay this weekend =) and I CAN'T WAIT (am trying to find out a quick way to say this in French, as their version translates, rather longwindedly, as I'm waiting impatiently). Apres ca, my petit ami is coming to stay for a week! > always think that is an odd phrase too - makes it sound a bit cheeky and weird, but I'm told the French do actually say this as 'boyfriend', although it essentially just sounds like I'm dating a child. But am mighty excited to show them all the sites of Le Mans - of which there are many! I'm making a little French list/ liste francaise, which differs only slightly from une liste anglaise, in that the language is not the same, and the French one takes significantly longer to write, due to the siestes I will take throughout and mini breaks for CHEESE AND WINE (Oh Alice, how you'd love it here!).
Only a little update aujourd'hui, as I'm sat in the Salle de Profs again, and must get on with something more productive! Like reading French Harry Potter! Oh and by the way - I have just discovered from the aforementioned novel, that a magic wand in French, is a baguette magique. Could life get much better than this?!
I think not.
Much love and whatnot,
