Okay so yesterday one of my favourite classes was canceled, but that turned out not to matter since they were all at the bar that I went to!
All the BST students, which as far as I can gather are vocational students 18+ had some sort of party at a bar last night. My Spanish roommate knew about it so we decided since we were bored as hell we might as well attend. There were probably like 50-75 students.
It was a trivia night so it was really fun. A student would play music and everyone would have to guess what Disney film or series it was from. They also asked questions, none of which I could translate. Fun France Fact: Disney songs are translated into French!
Gosh those French are really protectionist about their culture, eh?
I got to speak a lot of French which I loved since at school almost everyone speaks English to me if they can, or speaks way to fast in French if they can't. But me and the students spoke a melange of French and English and about topics that I would understand so I think it was great practice for me. I need to start making a bigger effort to speaking only in French because that's the only way I will improve.
I think my French is definitely better. Half the students can't understand anything I say in French so I def need to work on my accent, but other then that, if they speak slow with simply vocabulary we can kind of have a conversation!
I'm 3 weeks closer to putting Bilingual on my resume!
A student (a 21 year old semi-cute male) bought me and the English roommate a drink which was nice since I have 73 cents. Another student also gave me a beer from the Giraffe, which is a tall cylinder device, kind of like a mini, pretty, glass keg.
