I feel like I have ->regressed<- (case in point: I meant regress, not digress) in my language capabilities somewhat. Switching from french to english and then back again has made it so I am unable to readily form a grammatically correct sentence in either language. I tell myself this is because I am tired? I'm also coming to realization of how little I truly know. Le passé composé et imparfait? Quoi? I suppose the main idea would be to get my point across, which would mean past and future tenses are something I shouldn't worry too much about for right now...right? So on to verb, noun, adjective memorization.
Today I took Viviane's bike and explored Dorlisheim and the neighboring village. I even learned how to say that in the past tense! Aujourd'hui, j'ai fais un velo. I didn't work up enough courage to actually go into a shop and *gasp* interact with someone. It will come. I did, however, find a impressively well-kept war memorial graveyard, and an equally impressive church.
And the number and age of people on bikes! I love it! Everywhere you go is very biker friendly.
The pollen in the air is literally visible!
I discovered that Viviane used to take classical guitar lessons and still has her guitar. (Very exciting because I didn't bring mine.) Even more exciting is that it's an Alhambra (the company that made mine)! Unfortunately it's currently missing the top e-string, but that's temporary. They also have a decent steel string. Yay!
Today I went to the store and got an adaptor for my laptop -- go qwerty layout!
