Hey- Check this out!

Let me know if any of you try it. I'll let you know how much I get done ; )
One of the challenges should be to write/call/e-mail 3 friends you haven't communicated with in a week or more. I'm scheduling time for that tomorrow. (Susan... Jessi... Barbie...)

Hi Jessica,
Thankyou for stopping at Little French Homestead, it's very nice from you to comment in french, you'll be always welcome !
Be back soon
Muriel
hehe ;) I've been busy as well, so don't fret. . .
Do you know French, Jessica? Just wondering from Muriel's comment. :-) I love French! However, I'm just learning, so not that great. It's hard to get really good at a language that I really have no opportunities to use.

Hey there Hannah (I know you!)
Yes, I learned a little French as required in my public elementary school (why?, you might ask, in my little bitty town? We didn't even have Mexicans at our school then. So why French?? I don't know either). But then in high school I decided to continue on with it. I went up through French 2 with the Bob Jones Homesat program, and I did French 3 after I graduated- for a little while. : ) i just got too busy with other things that I didn't keep up with it; like you said- when do you get to use French?? The only times it ever came in handy (before I "met" Muriel) was in case I ever lost my English set of instruction manuels (!), I could refer to the French ones. And of course you get to read the labels on products sold to Canadians. And maybe you can even translate a few words from a French menu (if you go to fancy restaurants. Which I don't). : )
But it's just so much fun!! It didn't matter to me that no one understood me or that I might never use it- it's just so much fun to learn it! I think you understand ; )
Of course maybe one day I'll go to Quebec and they won't hate me (too much) if I can speak their language.
Enchantée!
