First day of lessons
(2 posts for the day!)
Today was the start of my 4-week classes. I woke up quite early and then went for breakfast at 8am. Breakfast was not bad – had yoghurt (then again, there’s always yoghurt!), cornflakes, salad stuff, bread. They also always have cheese available but I didn’t try that. And there’s fruits and dessert too for each meal.
At 9am, I had to take an oral test for placement into classes. I felt that t was not really a test per se – the professor was asking me basic questions like why did I learn French, why did I choose Rambouillet, how long have I learnt French, did I take DELF or DALF…etc.
Anyway, after that was done I learnt that for Monday mornings from 9 – 1030am, students will need to choose a class to attend from the available classes on the noticeboard. Basically, we need to select one that we are interested in and that is at at a suitable level.
I was the only student for that class and the passage that we worked on was quite difficult (and not that interesting)! It was about the phenomena of the movement of the less wealthy to the suburbs, especially in Paris.

Rambouillet arrival
It was a cold and windy day (after storm Xynthia swept through France) when I arrived at Rambouillet on Sunday. After asking directions to get on the correct road, I trudged to the institute with my heavy backpack. It seemed heavier than when I arrived in Paris! Strange huh, maybe it is because I’m tired. Somehow it was really weighing on me… all the way to the institute.
I was lucky that there was an English teacher present when I got there. Apparently, I was supposed to call from the station so that someone will be here – they gave me a number but didn’t say that I needed to call so I thought it was optional and I could just show up. Anyway, he showed me my room and orientated me on the different buildings.
