{lavender field photograph to teach the word “but” [goal] on French-Word-a-Day}

Every time I travel somewhere I can’t help but feel like a schmuck for making people speak English to me, while meanwhile they know at least two or three languages. Luckily I still have a little bit of my French, although losing it quickly and never was as fluent as I desired (I’m convinced it was because my French teachers always spoke English instead of French with us). Anyway, one of the buts (that’s French for “goal”) for the New Year is to sign up for small French conversation classes. In the meantime, I’m working on getting in my “French Word-A-Day” on this great blog that perfect for the francophile like me. (Thanks for the link, Patricia!)
