Hello to everyone who wandered into my another attempt at learning foreign language. :) It would seem that the years of school life, academic success, the availability of free time and foreign languages ​​\u200b\u200bthat are so difficult to give .. Or maybe I made it all up?) They never instilled in me love for English, which cannot be said about French) I it will be easier than many guys with a strong spirit and patience who have set themselves a similar goal here (and not only :)), because I once learned a little French. After learning the hard way and the well-deserved success of many smart girls here, I have to cope with this goal! I can’t say anything about my level, but from grade 7 to grade 10, with varying success, I learned something .. something that hasn’t been in my head for a long time) for 2 years I actually didn’t touch French at all, at school previously it was 1-2 per week. Now I want to restore my meager knowledge and achieve an excellent level of proficiency in this beautiful language!

Oh yes, I completely forgot, in 2013 I managed to visit Paris) I will even add a photo, even though he is already 3 years old) As for the language practice ... It was not at all. Yes, yes, I managed, being in France, not to speak French (and even English: D). I have a terrible language barrier with English, I didn’t have this in French, but I didn’t really see the need, since the trip was with a dance group and was not focused on communicating with foreigners in any way). I remember that the only thing that managed to "shine" was "merci", well, I asked for something to be served. How embarrassing, because now I don’t even remember it!
