Reading in my Hideaway!

Visible to anyone in the world

What a hot day it was today! but fortunately there was a nice cool breeze blowing, so this made it a little more bearable.

After doing my daily tasks, I opted for sitting in my 'Hideaway' which is beneath the trees at the side of my house, because study requires peace and quiet. I am still reading my e- book in french. It is slow plodding through  this book,  I am also still reading La Guinguette à deux sous by Georges Simenon,  I have to use my dictionary whenever I need to.

I have also been watching France24 the french news channel, which is a french speaking news channel on my mobile phone, so I try to watch this at least once every day day, this is very helpful for getting used to listening to the french language on a regular basis as well as beginning learning to speak the french language.
It is a long process learning a language! I can write and read in french now, yet I still struggle to pronouce some of the words correctly in french.

Just been hearing on the news about the fires in France, this has been caused by the heat and the global warming. That's a great pity because there are some very beautiful trees and woodlands in France. Climate change will soon be affecting all of us!
