I like my class at L'Alliance Français

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Halifax, 2004.05.19

Tonight, another French class. The crowd at this particular class is a good mix of personalities.

Our instructor has set an relaxed format that enables us to explore the questions that each other pose. This is quite complimentary to the sometimes-difficult subject matter. Learning two forms of past-tense in French when I've never had any English grammar instruction is a bit mind-bending.
