FIELD NOTE 1.18 – Never get disheartened when five year olds speak better than you, they are the best teachers.

Today on the metro brought a vocabulary lesson from two brothers who decided to scream words at each other and, thanks to them, I now have a basic knowledge of the animals in the zoo and the weather. My favorite: l’ours (bear).
The only hard part about listening to the two boys speak was the realization that they not only probably had a wider vocabulary than myself but also that they were both speaking faster and more coherently than I have been able to speak in my entire French career.
But at the same time I also found it quite easy to follow their conversation and understand everything they were saying. So I guess that’s a little progress!
