Bonjour Mars!
This month I resolved to: Learn French.
Or Do Duolingo Every day.
Or something like that.
And I only went and did it! Well done me!
This may not seem like such an achievement, but I am very very bad at languages. I had three years of German lessons at school, but it was very much an uphill battle, and I dropped the subject as soon as I could.
I decided on French (rather than picking up my tatty German) as I’m off to Paris for Easter weekend (such is my glamorous life) and I thought it might be nice to be able to make pleasantries at least.
Now originally I hoped to write this whole bloglet in French, but my skills are waaaay below the level needed to do that, so instead please find below some of my favourite Duolingo phrases:
I particularly enjoy the use of exclamation marks.... Anyway, after it got over lemons and bears, Duolingo got a little bit existential...
And then it just got rude:
Still at least they are only words. Sticks and stones and all that.
My work colleagues, however, take things to another level...
They killed my fruit friend! Monsters...
