After a long long time, I finally got my own French-English dictionary: The Oxford Color French Dictionary Plus. Aside from a French-English and vice versa word dictionary, it also has other helpful features like a grammar guide, letter writing guide, and even an SMS/texting guide. Nifty to say the least.

Langues, Langues, Langues
Yesterday evening, I started French lessons at Alliance Francaise de Manille. I’ve had an on and off relationship with French. Tried studying it on my own through the years. A few years ago, I took the exact same course but I didn’t push through with it so it all sort of went to waste. But I’m thinking, if I persist this time around, I just might succeed and become conversant. I think so because now I can practice it more with Aby who is also taking up French and maybe even with my French bosses. I think so because I’ve learned English, Tagalog, Cebuano, some Hiligaynon, and even a bit of Maranao. And I probably would have learned Arabic had I more time. My teacher in that language was said to have been amazed by my progress. So I’m thinking this should just be a matter of seeing it through to the end. As with all things.
