It's 2.30 pm and we're still here at the relatives'. We will probably leave for home in the evening, around five pm.
In the meantime, I've written two short pieces on Lang8 (around 200 words in all), though I haven't received any corrections yet. Edited by napoleon on 25 March 2014 at 10:12am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ha, Ha! I guess a lot of things we do would be seen as crazy by other people. I quietly got up at 4:30 this morning so I could have a little extra time before the day gets busy. I'm taking a break right now. ;-) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

The West Wing S1E01
Update: I ended up learning some new words from the episode(which I have entered into Anki): Orage: storm Cacahouète: peanut When I looked up cacahouète in my Petit Robert, I discovered two new expressions: Travailler pour des cacahouètes: work for peanuts Trois fois rien: Nothing, insignificant (Literally, three times nothing) Edited by napoleon on 26 March 2014 at 5:47pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

How much of TV do I understand?
News and speeches-Very easy These are as easy as falling off the Eiffel Tower. :-) (Probably because English and French use the same words for formal occasions.) Tintin-Easy I can understand almost everything other than the odd subjunctive or an unknown verb conjugation. But these are few and far between. Jo-Difficult I can follow the plot well enough. But I miss most of the jokes. The West Wing-Very difficult This TV show is really very hard for me. The actors have a flair for witty monologues. They would be fun if I could understand them without having to rewind every scene. Edited by napoleon on 27 March 2014 at 7:58pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I watched the first two episodes of L'avatar-le dernier maitre de l'air and I enjoyed every minute. I must thank emk for recommending it.
I have always wanted to watch Avatar. I may even have wached an episode here and there but this is the first time I am watching it seriously. Like emk says in his post, the episodes are short (22 min. each) and the dialogues are simple. I don't understand everything, but I understand enough of it to be able to enjoy the show. I am looking forward to episode 3. Can you believe it? :-) Edited by napoleon on 28 March 2014 at 9:08pm 3 persons have voted this message useful |
