So I've been kind of learning a whole lot of information from just one class in particular. Our student teacher person, Ms. Mdr, teaches French occasionally and let's just say she does it a little differently than M.Ra.
Instead of teaching us through work sheets and flash cards...she makes you say whole sentences. All the while, she doesn't translate anything into English. So she really just comes up to us and says a whole lot of gibberish and then asks us for our answer. After a while, we start to understand what she's referring to. So, part of me believes she thinks highly of our ability to translate quickly, but meanwhile she also adds things like " You do know that the le is masculine and the la is feminine right?" So....I completely misunderstand her thinking highly of us if she teaches us ng we already learned on the second day of French nearly four months ago. It's confusing. Although todayu she did a wonderful job of teaching us family members.
She comes up to me and says (in french) "Are you an only child ?" My instant reaction was a laugh and a "Non." But she kept going.
M. Mdr-- "You have a sister?"
Me-- "Oui."
M.Mdr-- "How many?"
Me-- "Six."
M.Mdr-- "Name them..."
Me-- " F, A, Bony-M, Mjaq, Genuine, et H.
M.Mdr-- " There is a brother?"
Me-- " Oui. Il s'appelle F2."
Only...she spoke very quickly and all in French. The words that I could make out had things to do with family members so I just went along with it.
