Today I went to see The Tourist at the cinema (Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp). I just LOVE French cinemas. So peaceful and quiet. And this isn't just any ordinary film. This is a TRILINGUAL film. Good job I'd already seen it in England then, so I knew what was going on. So here's my language practise of the day:
French speaking, no subtitles: French listening practise
English speaking, French subtitles: French reading
Italian speaking, French subtitles: Forced French reading and understanding to work out the Italian.
Who says we need school?!
Today's been pretty boring though... no killer snowstorm, no horrendous train wrecks or a tsunami whooshing through the metro tunnels blasting us out into the Atlantic Ocean, no crazed Parisian with garlic round his neck menacingly cackling: 'I will rule the world!' and tossing his beret in the air... Nada.
I spoke to my family via Face Time on my Macbook - a video chat application connecting MacBooks and iPhone 4's in a circle of friendship and never-ending happiness. :) My mother said it was like something you'd see on StarTrek back in the 70s. Bless. [Insert Spock-catch phrase with imitation.] It was nice looking into home life through my teeny webcam... I wanted to crawl through it and be magically transported into the warm kitchen with them.
Soo... Catie's back in France, my room is slowly beginning to resemble 'tidyness', and I'm still only on my first bottle of Domestos. That's pretty good going, seeing as I've been known to get through a whole 750ml bottle in under 2 days. So GO ME!
