…I really have neglected this blog. I’m an awful person, working 12 hours a week and skiing every once in a while/a lot is tiring and time consuming. I now only have 5 days left in Grenoble and too much has happened for me to possibly begin to write about it.
The final teaching week is upon us, and I have to say, as much as the annoying French brats have got on my nerves at times , it has been slightly hard saying goodbye! There were some classes I didn’t want to thank for “being such great students" but I did it anyway. The teachers here put absolutely no confidence in their students, constantly putting them down - laughing at their pronunciation of “clotheses" and their incapability of sounding the letter “h". I sometimes feel bad for the kids, thus taking on role of motivator. The last thing we need is pushing even more young people away from learning languages, purely because they’re too terrified to speak!
On another note, it’s absolutely boiling here (for once, it’s not raining) so I’m going to be typically British by getting my ghostly pale legs out, blinding all in sight, and sunbathe in a park or up the Bastille until my skin turns pink. Because, of course, why would I want to use sun cream when this is probably the only Summer weather I’m gonna get?!
