of basic french at Alliance Francaise; enrolled for a second semester. I remember quite a lot from high school days - Mr. Kess would be pleased. I completed the second semester of french language. I am still remembering much from high school french.
February 2012: Completed the fourth semester of french language at Alliance. Now, the grammar exercises require more effort to complete homework assignments. In class the emphasis is on conversation ability - das ist gar nicht so einfach (oops, wrong language)
2013 - To anyone who cares: I am still, currently, married for the past 50 years!
2014 - ...still walking uphill and down (Sierra Club) ... and counting my stars at Starbucks ... Year end - no more walking, no more donations, no tours, no classes.
