In a week, it'll be the French equivalent of Fall Break. Mine and the kids' break happen to be during the same times. My host siblings have already left to Nice to stay with their grandparents for an upcoming wedding. That means, I've been having dinner with just my host parents, which, I've gotta say, has been great, if not better. Don't get me wrong, I love my host brothers with all of my heart! They're the sweetest little angels. But a couple days without them allowed me to talk to my host parents more at the dinner table. I practiced a lot of French during dinner by telling them about my day, what my plans were, and a lot more about myself. I thought it'd be interesting to share what happened and what we talked about (in French, btw).

Je vous présente les images que j'ai pris de la Prison de Montluc à Lyon. Ma famille d'accueil m'a invité à visiter la prison pendant la journée du patrimoine. J'y ai appris que la prison tenait des résistants français, comme Jean Moulin, pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. De plus, une semaine plus tard lors de mon cours de cinéma français j'ai regardé le film "Lucie Aubrac (1997)" qui m'a appris encore plus sur l'histoire de ce sujet. Pour conclure, je trouve que j'apprends beaucoup pendant et en dehors de la classe. C'est la raison pour laquelle je crois qu'on apprend plus quand on est à l'étranger.
Here are some photos that I took of the Montluc Prison in Lyon. My host family invited me to visit this historical landmark with them during the Journée du Patrimoine. Here, I learned that the prison held members of the French Resistant, like Jean Moulin, during World War II. And then a week later during my french cinema class, I watched the movie "Lucie Aubrac (1997)" which taught me even more of the history on this subject. In conclusion, I found that I learn so much inside and out the classroom. That's why I believe that one learns more when abroad. |
