Comment votre Français?

Getting better, thank you. While still not able to carry a conversation, Shereen and I are making significant progress in understanding French. While still not completely clear on all the grammar, the biggest issue is lack of vocabulary. Very quickly we get outside of our scope. Most French speak too quickly for me to follow, but I can pick up a few words. Just being able to differentiate sounds into words has been a big step. At my last lesson I found myself comprehending most of what Isabelle was saying, and could respond haltingly for the most part, but I’m still searching for words and confusing the grammar. Regardless, I now can see myself conversing in French by next year, if only at a basic level.
