Ah my gawd!!
I am sure that there is an equivalent phrase in French but in case your wondering let me have a go at translating that for you... basically it means I am struggling and nervous about trying to learn French and I have only done one very basic lesson!!
So here's the update - I think I talked about discovering podcasts in my last blog - I was mucking around on my IPOD (not IPAD Trixie, IPOD, remember the difference and stop using them interchangably...) downloading an album and I stumbled into a section of itunes that related to podcasts.
Not being highly techno (have you worked that out yet?), I bravely kept looking and found this section languages and voila, there was a whole lot of lessons on any language you can imagine. I downloaded Lesson 1 from Coffee Break French and started listening to it this last week.
So the plan of attack is to use my spare time travelling listening to these lessons and I have to say 'so far, so good'- apart from managing to delete the podcast the following time I tried to use the IPOD. I perceivered....
So here I am at the end of week one and we have done "yes", "no", "I am well thanks" finishing with "and you"? Some might pick this up really quick but me, I have had to listen to it about 15 times but fingers crossed, sometime within the next millenium, I might be able to download Lesson 2!!
Have a look at these podcasts on itunes - i saw some great stuff that I also want to explore, including several lectures and interviews.
Maybe soon I will be able to say 'so long' when I finish these posts...
