BON JOUR...Yes, after many months of deciding whether to go for Spanish or French, I finally got enrolled with Alliance Francais for level A1 of French language. Tried to learn Spanish online, but I guess learning online didn't motivate me enough to keep learning it regularly. This is where money worked... ;) How ? Well I think its all in the mind. Just the thought that you have paid for something and you don't want your money to be wasted, you somehow manage to motivate yourself and keep doing things regularly. At least this works for me... ;)
It was just so spontaneous decision that I even had to skip the first french class. Paid the fees on the day the batch started. Started my class from the 2nd day actually. By the end of the week the class grew and the number of students reached approx. 25. Till now its not that tough as I had thought, but I would surely say it was interesting. The professor, a young lady I must say explains things really in a very nice manner. I knew before that @ Alliance Francais they don't speak English or Hindi while teaching. So I was a bit skeptical of how shall I understand, but hasn't been much of a problem.
Back to learning and I'm really enjoying it. Learned how to introduce myself in French, numbers and sounds of alphabets. Names of few objects and some other small but important things. Its been all and all fun. But morning class of 8 - 10 means that I had to now find some other time for doing my fitness training. Feels like I've become a lazy pig... ;)
This week its a vacation at french class, but I'll have to revise what I've learned or else I'll forget things.. ;) And next week I'll be missing 3 sessions as I'll be traveling for work which I don't want, but no choice :( The students in my class are an interesting mix from 19 years to 35 years. But typically like it is in school, its divided in 2 parts. One side the girls and the other side the boys and the back bencher's are all boys. Some how somethings never change. For an instance I had this weird thought of breaking this monotonous situation, but reaching early and finding a place right in the middle of where the girls sit and then see how the seating arrangement changes... ;)
Au revoir... :)
Do it! Do it! Breake the unwritten rules of classrooms behavours...
