My first embarrassing butchering of the French language happened this week. We were learning the verb "to play" which is "jouer". We were practicing writing it out and making sentences and reading our sentences aloud. I wrote and read everything as "Je jouie" instead of "Je joue" and the tutor started laughing and laughing. Well, apparently "jouie" means to come (sexually) and here I am saying I come to soccer, I don't come to football, and I come with my dog. Needless to say it was very embarrassing, and unfortunately it won't be the last time I butcher the language and make myself sound like a fool...and pervert!
Wow, I haven't posted in so long! To be honest, nothing has really happened. The first week of November we're going to Besançon to look at apartments and acclimate ourselves with the town. That should be fun.
