The exam this morning is a bit more difficult than I expect. However, being an open book test, it just takes a while to look up all the answers. That’s not to say that all the answers could be found in our books, but it helped a lot! I have a feeling that I passed.
Overall, the content of the course was not terribly relevant to what I need for my day-to-day interactions. I will not be pulling out relative pronouns and conditional past tense in my conversations. But just being here has made me speak more French than I normally would in Moncton, so perhaps I did learn something. I’ll definitely keep taking classes at Alliance Francais in Moncton since I find their courses are much more useful than this one. I guess for a real “immersion” I’ll have to try somewhere else. I’ve heard at least 2 people say that Montreal is the worst place to come to learn French (because most everyone can speak English). But where I am now compared to where I was 2 years ago is a huge improvement so I’ll stay positive!
And, this brings an end to the Montreal posts, unless something really unusual happens on my way home. I’ll update this post later if I take any pictures tonight. See you soon!
Look forward to seeing you! Have a safe trip home.
