It was a sink or swim situation, as I leapt into the unknown!

I wanted to pick up my somewhat rusty French.  A’level skills more years ago than I care to remember coupled with regular holidays in France didn’t quite add up to the skill level I once had.  So this year I decided to do something about it – a New Year’s Resolution if you will.  Read More »

I ended up in the latter group, together with a Finnish lady who, delighted, could not stop talking about the many similarities there are between her language and Spanish, and three Germans with a great eagerness to learn.
