French study

Here are some pictures of me hard at work learning French!!! We spent three weeks learning French because it is the trade language here and we can use it while we are in the capital city to go to market, the tailor, and various other things.


Melissa, Sarah, and I were in class together. And we were able to help and learn from each other. It was especially fun to laugh at all the mistakes we made!!! Learning language will most definitely keep you humble!!


We met with a teacher everyday from 9:00 until 12:00 in the morning. We spent much of our time learning vocabulary and practicing conversations. We even were able to talk with Father and share stories from the book in French the last week!! French has been very useful to us as we have been buying food, clothing, and even just greeting people on the street.


Here is a picture of our classroom. The majority of the time we met outside under this little shelter. We have a chalkboard and everything! Other than our chairs sinking in the sand on occasion, we had a pretty nice set-up!!


Our teacher was very helpful and very interested in helping us to learn the language and the vocabulary that would be useful to us! We were very blessed to have him as our guide!!

Language learning is a blast!!!
