Time continues to fly by regardless of what country I’m in. At times I wish to be back in Denver with my friends, while the next moment I’m thankful to be here. After around three and a half weeks progress has become suite evident in my language study. Everyone told me around three weeks you’ll feel as if you had a revelation with understanding people. For some odd reason my revelation isn’t in understanding others, but in my ability to speak French.

Christine will ask me a question where I take a few seconds to comprehend in my head, while as soon as I understand her I say a few words in French, only after translating them in my head into English.  Intrensicly I comprehend the meaning of many words resulting in automatically using them when appropriate. Every time I continue to translate what I said, checking to see if it was correct, only to find the majority of the time it is. This may seem like a simple thing to some, but for me it is huge! I’ve been studying the French language for less than a month at this time and it’s already becoming normal for me. In some way French is now a part of me. I love it!
