Turkey, Escargots, & Una Macchina
Preface: This is not a post about me taking a trip to Turkey by car while eating escargots. Sorry not sorry to disappoint (although that may not be such a bad idea). Class was good and passed by really quickly today. Towards the end of langue écrite the sky turned dark really fast and I heard a…

Language Blocks
I am questioning whether I still want to keep writing here like a diary/journal. I find that I have problems expressing myself in French. The answer and explanations are right there in my head but I am still in the translation phase of my language learning. I realize I have to be more exposed to…
