The language learner's humility paradox The better you get at your TL, the more humble you become When someone asks me if I speak Spanish, I'm like: Yeah I understand it fairly well, most the time

Un grand merci à tous ceux qui m’ont aidé sur le plan financier. Sans vous, une telle aventure n’aurait jamais été possible. @asfapalms @GilmanProgram Je posterai des photos ici quand j’en serai capable mais mon accès au WIFI est un peu limité pour le moment. À plus !

I depart for France next week (hoo-ray) and will spend a month in Paris! I was also chosen for a scholarship from the Belgian government and will spend the first few weeks of August attending a French teacher training seminar. Je suis prêt pour ces deux voyages !!
