it's official: marginally bilingual
Jun. 13th, 2006 05:01 pmLast week I wrote two French exams....et les resultats sont:
Reading: C level (very good)
Writing: A level (a notch above clueless)
Oral exam (*snerk*) is in early July. My bet's on a B for that one.
Make sense: when I studied French, written French was my lowest priority. I wanted to be able to communicate in social situations. Not being able to use it much for a couple of years, I'm OK with these results.
Oh, am in Otttawa. Hotel is foin, city is foin, the Chinese for dinner was so-so. Had a lovely Skype with mah huzban and am killing time waiting to go to sleep. Alone. Ça ne me plaît pas.

Back when I studied French, I wanted to communicate in social situations, but that's when I was too socially inept to do anything... even speaking to others in English *gasp*.
Unfortunately, I feel a bit tentative about going to Quebec City in September, but I'll leave that for a post in my journal.
Hope you're making the best of things in Ottawa!
