Parlez-vous Francais?

Bonjour!
Comment allez-vous?  Je vais tres bien, merci! Comment vouz appelez- vous?  Je m'appelle Christie. 

Well, if you hadn't guessed it yet, I have been busy learning French.  At the beginning of May, the State Dept let me know that I would be able to take their 8-week FAST French program.  The catch is that since it is the same training that full time employees take, then the training + lab time is 40 hours a week.  I have kicked myself for years for not learning a language back when I was younger and my brain was in much better shape to learn to speak anything except English.  So, I am super excited at this awesome opportunity, but am juggling trying to make sure everything continues to get done. My apologies for not keeping up with our goings-on, but I have been immersed in French, moving, end of school year activities and just regular life.  2 more weeks of French!  When I am finished, I promise to post pictures of our soon to be new house in Dakar and some of the more interesting stuff we've been up to this past month!
Bonne weekend! A tout a l'heure!
To go along with my French theme and a hint about one of our state-side adventures :)

    1. It is beautiful, even if they insist on populating their words with letters they don't say. I am having fun :)
