Me? Learn French? You must be kidding!

It's true! Me, having to learn French! (Pat here!)

Well, the first week of University is over, and another one begins tomorrow.
By the end of last week we were both shattered!

The first day seemed to go well, and I actually managed to understand the majority of what was being said. Replying is another matter.

I had the same tutor all day, and she has a good sense of fun. Anything we didn't understand, she tried to draw on the whiteboard, quite an artist!

So, the first day and I think the second went quite wee. The next few days I began to get quite lost! Suddenly we were talking about passe compose.. WOT??

When I did French in Wales I learned how to order food from a restaurant, and of course the wine! But I don't think we got as far as past tenses (forgive me Janet if you read this and I'm wrong!)

I think the tutor realised that I was struggling (the vacant expression on my face must have given it away) so she asked me at the end of the lesson if I was ok. So, I had to explain (in French) that there was so much I didn't understand, and the tenses being the worst!

So, I think I will be moved to a class just one below the one I'm in. How did I get into the one I'm in now? Well I didn't copy anyone honest!

We have both met people from all over the world as Alan has already blogged, it's fascinating, and quite an eye opener when you talk to some of them.

Anyway,tomorrow we begin again. I don't think I will be able to do my homework, until at least I've read the grammar book Alan has lent me!!

I'm not totally disillusioned though. I am enjoying the whole thing underneath! And I do try and have a go. Some of the folk at church are great, cos they will correct me when I go wrong(Frequently) and all of them are SO patient..

God is so good.

A bit about music exams in UK and France

They're really different. I think I have already mentioned that while in the UK people generally find a private teacher for their instrument, or do it through a school scheme, here there are municipal music school, conservatoires and so on. The situation is a little more complex than I had first understood, because the schools vary in the rigidity of their organisation: the most, the conservatoires, next the municipals, then the associations. Our music school is an association, but it tends to apply the standards of the municipal schools with its programme of cycles, etc. Britain - grade 1 to 8, grade 8 being roughly equivalent to A-level, pre university/conservatoire. France - 3 cycles, each taking about 4 years, with 3ème cycle being roughly equivalent to grade 8. Theory of music - UK to take grade 8 you need theory grade 5. In France you study theory alongside your instrumental studies, very slowly. Catrin's flute music is MUCH more difficult than the stuff she does in theor...

Good news from my sermon buddy

Yesterday we went over my script from August 13. There really wasn't much she had taken exception to. Once or twice she wondered quite what I was getting at (they had the same problem at Deeside, I think...) and I do have difficulties with the word " de ", but then she said "Who doesn't?" So I felt very encouraged. I also took the opportunity to ask her about one or two things: 1) Direct preaching. Like I used to in Britain, I preach saying you - using "vous" when I am talking to the whole wide world and "tu" when I want it to feel as if I am addressing each person individually. French preachers tend to say rather "What will we do, what will one do". So I asked her if she felt my way was too direct, too brutal for the French ear. She said "I think you can get away with it with your English accent". In fact several people have commented on how much they appreciated being spoken to directly in preaching. 2) Liaisons Last...

A brief sortie to North Wales

 Following the Great Keswick Debacle, when our volunteering at the Keswick café was sabotaged by our assorted indispositions, we had airline tickets to use up. Yes, we had not taken travel insurance, so we paid even more money to change our tickets to fly for a short visit to North Wales. This time we were able to go. We passed extremely slowly through a very crowded Bordeaux airport but in good time to get our plane. All seats in the terminal were taken so we leaned against whatever we could find while waiting to board. Hey, bags need seats, too! though sometimes pointing out to Pat, "No, that's a bag seat", makes the bag find a new refuge on the lap of the person sitting next to it... Once on the plane we quickly found our allocated seats - right at the back on the left hand side - stowed our bags and the flight was smooth and uneventful.  We had 30 minutes in Manchester to disembark, get through immigration , hustle off to the station and board our train for Shotton. I...
