I am finding it hard going, too many words I do not know and only basic French skills. But…will never grasp the language without effort!
Keep at it and you will succeed. In your spare moments try to think in French and where you have problems augment your reading with grammar books and French vocabularies which I still find helpful.Take up any opportunities to converse with French people too.
Yes, everything. We go to the village café, listen to radio and watch French tv. Lessons too. Conversation is best, but still need to expand my vocabulary. Had a conversation with a woman yesterday when out with the dog, all in French. She was German! If I understood properly she left Germany when the Berlin wall came down and has lived here since then…
Lived for a short time on the Teddesley Estate, May well have lived in Bournville. Probably a chocoholic
This great book is about motoracing in the 1930’s and in some ways the most representative collection of photographs which have ever been got together in order to illustrate motor road-racing as it existed before the Second World War.It is a very rare edition with its original dust jacket.
The sequel to Prisoners of Geography Hopefully I’ll get to give this a coat of looking at over the next week.
I'd appreciate all suggestions on any topic , but I'll kick off with this one , mainly because it has a motorbike theme - "The Motorcycle Diaries" - by Che Guevara https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Motorcycle_Diaries_(book)
I've just finished 'Act of Oblivion' by Robert Harris. It is fiction but uses a lot of actual history from the death of Charles the first to the early years of Charles the second.
Read this after @ymfb recommendation, it was a good read. If there was such an award for dogged persistence this ex Police officer deserves it.
