La troisième semaine

Salut à tous

Comment ça va? Après avoir fini ma troisième semaine, je fait maitenant un petit résumé. Je pense que je faisait beacoup de progrès en parler français. Alors, je encore fais beacoup de fautes, mais c'est pas mal. Quand j'arrivais à Montpellier, j'ai pensé que je pouvais parler aucun mot. Mais c'était faut. Après un où deux jours je me souvenais beacoup de choses. Et maitenant, je suis dans le nievau B2. C'est pas mal. Alors, mes plus grands problèms sont le vocabulaire, l'utilisation de passé composé, l'imparfait ou le plus-que parfait. Je m'étonne que je comprenne l'utilisation de subjonctif plus ou moins.
Donc, je souhaite que vous ayez un bon weekend.

La première sémaine à Montpellier

Bonjour tout le mond.
Comment allez vous?
Alors, je passais une sémaine à Montpellier, la plus belle ville de la France. Je n'ais pas de photos maitenant, parce que je n'ai pas une cable pour connecter la camera avec l'ordinateur.
As the French keyboard really is pain in the neck, I will change to English. Ok, first an information for any of you guys who intended to make contact with via old fashioned paper letter. DO NOT SEND ANY. I will change the place I am staying on Monday. I decided to change, because at the moment I am staying with an older lady, who is absolutely lovely, but I booked half board. Now thats the real thing I did not realize. As I don't know when I will be back in the eve or want to eat earlier, its always a bit difficult to plan. Therefore I will move in a shared flat on Monday right in downtown Montpellier, which is nice. However my bus pass gets worthless as the school is right in downtown Montpellier.
What is there to tell, the weather has improved, the Swiss have just lost their match, I have visited Bezier and le canal du midi today. Tommorrow I will go to Carcasonne with a German and a Swiss lady. Ok, now something about the school. The school is really nice. I have forgotten how much I love going to school. Yes, I am not bluffing. It's really nice to go to class and you walk out knowing you have improved. I bought for 0,2 Euros a novel in french which I started to read. However what is more interesting, I have seen a book in the store called "La geographie de l'Inde". I think I will buy this one, as its an academic book on my fav subject but in French. Alors, j'aime parler francais. Je faisait beacoup de progres et j'ai l'opinion que je sois lentment en train d'utilizer de correctes formes de grammaire. This last sentence just included two major points of grammar we had this week: use of subjonctif, adverbs. We also discussed indirect speech... and its fun.
Ok, now something about Montpellier. First of all, everthing, except the wine, is bloody expensive. In central Montpellier there is now big supermarket. They are all located near the motorway exit. Therefore you have to shop in the very expensive monoprix. Apart from the food everything else is so expensive. Even without the Euro being 1.70 CHF. The liter petrol costs 1.54 Euro. Therefore we know in Switzerland its not that expensive, isnt it. Ok, then the public transport. There are two Tramway lines and lots of buses which reach about every part of the town. However these darn buses stop running at 2000. Only the trams run after 2000. This is so stupid.
Will tell you more next time.

Cheers.

Montpellier

Hi Friends

Hmmm, where to start. The french keyboard is so confusing, so that I have to change it to English. I don't know where the French were when sanity in keyboard design was given away by god.
I have arrived safe and sound in Montpellier. Having in mind the floodings that happened all over France in the last week its to a certain point surprising. However the weather turned good today. After one day of school a can resume the following. The school seems to be good. At least the teacher, Sophie, is very nice. My french is compared to others in the middle range. At least my general prononciation is not bad. This comes from the point as there are lots of Singaporian people, Sweds, some Swiss and Germans, at least one Italian, a Spanish girl and a Polish one. Quite funny is the fact that of the students 70% seems to be female. The age range is from 20 to 45... but I think the average is about my age or in the early 20s.
I am staying with a very charming elderly woman who seems to love the Kirschstengeli I brought with me. Ok, the room is OK, but by no means perfect. It's loud from the busy road outside. The bed is shorter than me and its extremely soft. But I'll survive. Luckily its not that far from the school... about 2.5kms. I am still unsure whether I should buy a 42 Euro monthly bus pass. Generally speaking the stuff here is very expensive. Fuel prices are about 1.50 Euros per liter, having in mind that I paid 1.70 CHF for one Euro last week.
Alors, mes amies, je vous souhaite une bonne semaine à la suisse ou le lieu vous restez. En 20 minutes je vais participer en une tour de la ville de Montpellier.
Au revoir!
