Just got back de mon premier cours de francais. It's got me riding on a high. It's so nice to hear all the French again. And I can actually understand 90-95% of what my instructor is saying (he speaks mostly in French, and is a French native). I have three other students in my class, a UCLA student going into her third year which she'll spend studying in Paris (Melissa, an art history and French major interning at the Getty Museum for the summer. Super awesome because she lives near campus and gave me a ride home), a lawyer who works for the state of California, and an editor of Californication and the United States of Tara (woot L.A.!).
This is going to be a good course. I'm pumped apprendre le francais!
Oh and I get there and find out I needed to buy a book that cost $50, on top of the course fee, and I might have to buy books for my conversational course too... I now have a new understanding of the saying "investing in your future."
