I always have the feeling that i have wasted my time a lot after a long holiday because i ll look back and probably be able to see something more beneficial and constructive to do but didnt do.So as the saying goes,we should not live our life in regrets,i have decided to take up a foreign language.Hahaha why am i offering so many reasons,the truth is i just like the idea of learning another language and at time like this,its really not a bad idea to turn the focus back on yourself through learning.So the language i pick is French.Well not exactly because French is seemingly connected to anything romantic but simply because its one of the most spoken language in European countries and as according to my dad,mastering another language can only do you more good and no harm.
So today was my first class,my class is consist of almost 10 peoples from all walks of life.I was the second youngest and have classmates from age 19 to 30's.Interestingly,when i settled down,and the teacher who is a Jamaican started talking in some funny language,i immediately thought i was in the wrong class.But turns out he was speaking French and only he alone is comprehending as the rest of us looked equally clueless.Guess i really wasnt accustomed to not understanding a single word people utter,but then i think i ll get use to it.So then today we learn some really basic salutation,presentation and etc in French..i wasnt tougue-tied as i thought i would be but it is rather challenging to get the pronounciation right and at the same time remember what it means.There was time when the teacher asked us one by one like we were supposed to answer whats our name,how old are we kind of questions..i just looked at him and went blank like he literally just drain me of what i have just learned.A few moments of silence and he replied.."Maybe later..." which cause the whole class to giggle a little...I was like "damn!!i knew the answers just minutes ago.."and went red a little.The class lasted for two hours,although it was slightly tiring for me as i go there straight after work and dinner,but it was worth it and satisfying.
And as i really should turn in and get some beauty sleep,Aurevoir!! (which means goodbye in French..i just checked in my notes..lol).
