French Class

For the last three weeks Dave has been taking intensive French four hours a day at the Alliance Francais. Its a very international class containing Asians, Europeans, North and South Americans. While nobody speak French well, most everyone speaks English which is the 'lingua franca' of the class!

Its been a while since high school French but something must have stuck with Dave because he feels he has managed to handle getting back from random phrases to passe compose and the future tenses easily. He is a frequent contributor in class and even corrects the teacher from time to time!

That part about correcting the teacher is an inside joke but Dave really is enjoying the class. The teacher does a good job of coming up with interesting exercises. One of the most fun was a skill Dave doesn't need anymore 'Speed Dating'. He is planning to take more classes in the new year. Until later, or as Dave says 'Awh Rev-war'!
