What a hot day it was today, but fortunately there was a nice cool breeze , so this made it a little more bearable!
After doing my daily tasks, including caring for my son. 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 from the Maigret series by Georges Simenon, I have to use my dictionary whenever I need to. I sometimes use the online dictionary or my little pocket dictionary.
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. This is very helpful for getting used to listening to the sound of the french language, on a regular basis, as well as learning to speak the french language, into my voice recorder. 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. The Maigret films on TV are helping me a lot, so are the Maigret books .I already have a good collection now!
Just been hearing on the news lately, 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.
