Hanging out in Paris waiting for my next flight (a short 1hour trip to Rennes Airport) and using the wifi to send an update. It's 1:30am my time and I didn't sleep a bit on the 7.5hour flight over here...so that's a bummer. Good news is I caught up on some movies I'd been meaning to watch!
Here is a general idea of how my French is working so far: I can grab the beginning of every sentence and maybe one vocab word in-between. So sometimes I know what the sentence is about but I have no idea what exactly was said (i.e. I hear, "Bonjour, french french french cheval french french"..."Okay...he said cheval...that means horse... is he calling me a horse? Does he see a horse nearby? Are we having horse in today's meal?..." etc.)
This actually worked out for me when going through security and I caught the world for "belt" -- I proudly lifted my shirt and displayed to the man that I was not wearing a belt. I did not consider that if I was wrong I was presenting a possibly lewd gesture. Oh well, c'est la vie.
Heard you arrived safely. Can't wait to read how it's going. Have fun
