More French
I finally received my copy of Assimil French With Ease from Amazon, and was disappointed to have got the newest version, rather than the sturdier 1990s incarnate (the binding and the packaging the new one came in just makes me cringe). However, the content is the same, so I guess it doesn't really matter.
I'm continuing on with watching French in Action, though I skipped a couple of days due to my class schedule. I've also been listening on and off to French radio and even "read" the Slow Step manga, which has really consolidated certain words in my mind like "lunettes" (glasses) and "l'andouille" (fool). Understandably, I didn't know enough vocab to actually get the ending and had to look up spoilers posted online. Still, it was quite fun, and I plan on "reading" more manga in French in the future. I'm thinking of doing Gokusen next.
Once I'm much farther with Assimil, I hope to do some listening-reading with Harry Potter et le prissonier d'Azkaban. I managed to buy a copy of it from my library's book sale for fifty cents way before I even planned on studying French, and I figure that there's no point in letting it go to waste, right? :)
