Je vais en Chypre Je peux aller a la plage et me reposer pour deux semaines avant de retourner en Angleterre pour decouvrir les resultats de mes examens

meme cauchemardesque, j'ai peur.

My aunt and uncle have a French girl staying with them at the moment, I got to meet her yesterday and she's coming round on Wednesday. I was able to speak to her in French really easily and it surprised me how much difficulty she had in trying to speak in English even though she has been staying in England for several weeks. It certainly seems English is the harder language to understand for some reason.

It's so satisfying being able to speak to someone in their native tongue, it's what makes learning languages worth while.

Funny story: Last week my uncle went to collect this French girl from the train station and brought her back home, it was just the two of them in the kitchen and in his limited French he attempted to say 'tu-as faim?' he was then concerned to see her start shouting at him and saying 'what do you mean?' and my uncle didn't have a clue what he had said to offend her, in the end I think they both realised and could laugh about it.

(she obviously thought my uncle had said 't'es femme' - 'you are woman' and for a teenage girl alone in a house with a middle aged man that might be quite worrying lol!)

Merci wesetters...maintenant je comprends...lunettes.
