i must admit after meeting the french teacher in the all girl's academy i went to first for hs i v=montypythonesque "ran away"

i admire your ability to stick with it and do such a great job. I tried watching the dvd with french version of my favorite martian and i just couldn't understand more than one word in thirty. i still have to translate everything except what i learned at age one, two or three and those were silly things like mom saying "open the door" talking about feeding me while in a highchair and at the "i'm not opening my mouth stage". you can imagine fun things like a three year old not opening the door, but her mouth when the command was issued by somebody actually speaking french who thought i knew the language. *sigh*
