Answers to Class Questions

Bonjour Class:

Thank-you for all the great letters and questions you have sent me in the past 3 weeks. It has been so nice to hear from you.

In this letter I have tried to answer some of the questions you have sent me in your comments on my BLOG. Merci beaucoup.

Jack: Have you had escargot?
Maddy: No never but I play with the snails on my walk to school after it rains.

Kate: Is school getting better?
Maddy: Yes it is better each week. My French is better too. We even have to memorize a poem in French.

Taylor: Are you having trouble speaking French?
Maddy: Yes very much. Plus my friends here speak so fast. Do we speak English that fast?

Maddie: Do you like it in France?
Maddy: Yes I like it a lot. It is so different from Florida though. Hopefully you like my stories on how different it is.

Jordan: Is it cool in France?
Maddy: The temperature here has been great . High of 28 (C) and low of 17(C) Can you figure out what that is in Florida temperature?

Anthony and Bryce: I hope you are having a good time in France.
Maddy: Oui, Bien sur (Yes of course I am)

Charlie: Hi Maddy
Maddy: Bonjour Charlie. Comment Ca Va? (Hello Charlie. How are you doing?)

Izabella: We miss you.
Maddy: Tu me monque (This one is really hard because in English it means I miss you but it really says You me miss. That's French for you)

Raine: I like your house
Maddy: Me too. It is really very old here. Our house was built hundreds of years ago.

Laura: The story was nice. I have a dog too.
Maddy: Merci beaucoup. The word for dog is chien unless it is a girl dog then it is a chienne. All words here are either male or female. Yikes!!

Hannah: I love you an miss you too.
Maddy: Je t'aime. (I love you too) And you have no idea how much I miss you.

Thank-you again class for keeping me so close to you. I hope I didn't forget anyone who wrote a comment. Please write soon.

Love
Your friend Maddy
