French Crazed
Okay, I think I'm going crazy here. I started really studying French last August and now I am at the advanced level, at age 16. All I do is study French independently. When I hear people talk English on TV I feel that I need to translate it into French in my head! I can't get enough of French. I think I have OCFD (Obsessive Compulsive French Disorder). What is wrong with me??? Please respond on the forum: http://forums.about.com/ab-french/messages/?msg=3103.1&ctx=10
Salut mes amis. Cette semaine, j'ai commenc� � apprendre plusieurs danses latines : salsa, m�rengu� et quelque chose dont je n'avais jamais entendu parl� - la � danse folklorique portoricaine �. J'aime toutes les trois ! Mon mari travaille le soir o� le cours est offert, donc j'y assiste avec une copine, et une autre va peut-�tre nous joindre aussi. En plus, il y a une bo�te qui fait � la soir�e latine � apr�s le cours, donc nous aurons pas mal d'occasion de pratiquer. :-)
