I’m working on a daily basis, though I don’t know if I mentioned it much… to learn French.

Part of what I do involves listening to Celine Dion, who is my absolutely favorite singer. I was overjoyed to see her performance recently.

Today, I did several duolingo lessons to “freshen” up what I know. And… I started reading the Bible in French. Now, with the English version on the bed in front of me and listening to/ reading the French verse by verse… I’m starting to pick up even more words.

I told a friend today though that since I’m learning two… I guess “Romance Languages,” I’m starting to be able to understand what’s being said in either language, but responding in the wrong one.

Do I say: Je parle francais? Or Yo hablo espanol?

Do I say: Comment ca va? Or Como estas?

I’m fine, you? Ca va bien, y toi? Estoy bien, y tu?

I think I  need a separate notebook for the Spanish.

Because I want to be able to have brief conversations, I’m attempting to re~learn one language (potentially two) and learn 3 new languages.

… That’s it, I guess!

Merci, Gracias, Mamnun!
