French textbooks vs French

How to learn grammaire like that?!
French textbooks are after all (probably) designed by French. And thus, like French, they have that same element of pride in their language. That pride which will outweigh any other pride, especially towards English speaking people! And that was how the above came about. How to learn grammar like that for a level 1 noob who wants to learn French by himself/herself?? You know, at least my Jap textbook explains itself clearly (in terms of grammar usage), even though the entire textbook is in Japanese. And thus noobs are not suitable for such textbooks!

French class

I've decided to stop procrastinating. Will sign up for French as soon as I've plowed through my old textbooks and to prevent being too broke to sign up!

French french french.

There's a lot of things which I would like to pen down but won't be able to because it's been suppressed for too long and I wouldn't know how to start anyways.

But I do know that I dreamt of French yesterday. As well as some other stuff.


And I so so so want to take French back. Je veux parler francais! Grr.

I'M SO SORRY CLEMENT!!!

Found the Christmas card FOUR MONTHS after Christmas, unopened.. Well done. And it's made me a tinge guilty about wanting to register for French but not doing it yet!!! Omg.

And it again reminded me that I was so busy last year to write any cards. Guilty guilty. Will write 'em this year!

I'm so sorry!!! Don't hammer me!!!

Dear God, I have been bad.

By waking up at 8plus this morning, but went back to sleep and only woke up to realize that class starts in 10min..

But I will repent, by studying more.. French. Haha.

It's quite a shiok feeling to be able to sleep in on a Saturday morning.. Instead of rushing to get out of the house at 9plus. Guess I'm totally giving up on the idea of continuing Jap lessons. Spent the whole year trying to catch up with whatever the teacher was saying, but to no avail. I swear the last test was really a miracle of some sort, but I doubt this kind of miracle will happen again anytime soon. -.-

STILL lack of sleep, because apparently only slept at 5 yest.. -.- Still want to close my eyes. Bleah.

Mlle Janet Martin-Lau

was my tutor in French1 and French2, and she was as good a tutor as anyone can have. She saw that I was weak, and subtly helped me out during tutorials. And out of my numerous tutors and lecturers, she was the one that I chose to email back for one of my swiss assignments :D

And she's on fb! Totally rather amazing, until she asked me how's my french :s Nevertheless, I'm glad to be in contact with her, esp if I'm considering Alliance Francaise next year!

Je veux dormir

C'est un jour tres mal pour travail. Je veux dormir, Le travail est ennuyeux (pour aujourd'hui, au moins), et c'est Lundi. Lundi bleus.

Je n'ai pas pratiqué de français pour une très longue période. Mon français devenu mauvais, mais j'aime toujours le français et je veux l'apprendre maintenant maintenant maintenant! J'ai perdu l'intérêt pour le japonais.

Je ne sais pas pourquoi je suis subitement si perdu.

It's nothing short of a miracle that I was able to pass Japanese term test with SUCH high marks, and for that I promised myself I'll pass the finals, if not for anything, because if not what's the point of passing a term test?

I found something I didn't expect to find, I can't find what I expected. Such a weird and random thing, but it goes to show how very naive I am, and how things don't always go according to one's expectations. Should not expect too much of the never perfect homo sapiens.
