@Andy in Germany - I managed to get a U/U in French, which I'm presuming stands for 'Utterly Useless '.

The family still lets me do the talking when we've been on holiday in France for 10 of the last 14 summers. The French? They usually ask me to stop, generally with something like "thank you, but you're ruining our language. English is just fine."

Hmm. l live in France so no excuse not to speak French but so many younger people speak English ( and lets face it most people are younger than me) , that it is all to tempting to " Franglé" my way through

until Wifey departs for Italy, next summer, I'll be over-hearing her Duolingo practices, with her computer ...

My 5 year old granddaughter loves “ Owly “ and “ helps “ me with my German exercises 😄

Just got a call from the deputy manager:

"Andy, can you come to the office? We need to talk."

Oh cr*p

Ran to office wondering what I'd done wrong now. Everything was fine ten minutes ago.

Arrive in office. DM:

"Frau____________ is off sick for the week and Frau ___________ is also sick until December, we need to sort out staffing until the weekend"

And.... Breathe.

With the number of people here learning German I reckon I should start CC language exchange seminars:

Two weeks in the Breisgau, flat, lots of cycle lanes, next to the Black Forest and France, Language training in the morning and practical experience, in the form of guided cycle tours in the afternoons.

Sign me up!
I visited my daughter when she was working in Berlin. I was going for a month and so I thought it a good idea to sign up for a language course while I was there. On the first morning I turned up at the admin building and was documented and sent to the “ absolute beginner “ classroom in another building. It took me a while to find the correct room, and when I finally walked in I was met with about a dozen faces sitting behind desks and chatting. They all stood up as being so old they thought I must be the teacher😄
Living in the Poole / Bournemouth area there’s lots of language schools and I’d often see groups of students gathered outside the doorways of various schools. It brings back fond memories of doing similar outside a school in Berlin.

Oops... I was going to have a coffee free couple of days

I'm defrosting my freezer. It will take a while. And then I'll have to restock it ready for Christmas because I've been running supplies down.

Today's to do list includes taking my mother to the GP and collecting a Christmas tree for a friend.

My work computer has decided to act up. Had to force a restart and after an age it has finally restarted but has decided not to recognise one of the monitors.

You'll need a small child to sort it for you methinks 👍

Sounds like an excellent idea!
