Not too much French study, apart from French numbers review courtesy of an article in today's National Post newspaper:
“ 'Deux mille quinze! Deux mille quinze!'
The French chant “2015” started in the upper reaches of the NDP backbench and soon cascaded into a common, desk-thumping chorus just before midnight Thursday in the House of Commons.
The tone from the official Opposition was oddly celebratory, given that they’d just faced 22-plus hours of consecutive spankings by a Conservative majority government voting to protect its omnibus budget bill from hundreds of amendments."
As is the case for me with the French language, there is much about politics I don't understand. I am assuming that the spankings reference is not intended literally, but who knows these days and I am too timid to inquire further....

Too bad you're leaving the Freutsch team, but I fully support your efforts to tackle French once and for all! I will certainly keep following your blog and will consider you an unofficial teammate, in any case. :)

love your honest conversation with French. I'm not sure French appreciates it, but according to the stereotype German surely would :D
