Sounds like a good job. Better than dealing with energy customers, for example and an interesting challenge with the languages.
I just found a little work as a maths and physics tutor so I'm pretty happy too.

That's wonderful!
Work appears to be a great place - salary is relatively low but provisions to the employees are pretty good, free fruit and all that.

Merci, c'est un boulot assez intéressant, mais il y a beaucoup des mots à apprendre. Et même l'écrire: quand j'allait à l'école, j'ai bien appris
d'écrire des lettres formels, mais pas du courriel. Même "courriel" est un mot qui j'ai appris quand j'avait un Hotmail français, je ne sais pas le
prononcer.

Bien fait!
Moi je ne connaissais pas le mot "boulot", peut-être c'est un mot trop populaire. Travail, oui, je connais.

Yes, boulot is an informal word for work, you can translate it by using the word Job. You speak good french, Bonny. Now I'm gonna correct your
previous sentence ( ):
Merci, c'est un boulot assez intéressant, mais il y a beaucoup des mots à apprendre. Et même l'écrire: quand j'allait à l'école, j'ai bien appris
d'écrire des lettres formels, mais pas du courriel. Même "courriel" est un mot qui j'ai appris quand j'avait un Hotmail français, je ne sais pas le
prononcer.
Et meme à ecrire. Or you can say: et meme à l'ecrit.
J'ai appris à écrire. Formelles.
Quand j'avaiS.
And almost nobody uses the word courriel, most of us say mail. You pronounce it like Court plus iel of Ciel.
If you've got any question, don't hesitate to ask.

Anyway, how's things? I've either been busy in my studio with one thing or another or out sight seeing with my two brothers in law from the UK who are
staying with us until the end of April.

Sounds great!
It's the national holiday today, its main attraction to me is the free market (basically they assign a certain place in town where absolutely anyone
can roll out a blanket and sell their stuff, or make music or sell food or organize a game to make a little money. I snatched a Heinz comic book and a
Simpsons season 2 DVD box.

Was planning to work on my French all weekend (I needed it today, we're also hooked up to the Belgian line Ardennes Relais and sometimes French
speakers call to the Dutch line - happened twice) but BF is coming over.

Teach him French, if he doesnt know
ho to speak it. Or, if he knows, both of you should speak French for the next two days.

He was taught French at school, but you know how that slips... Most people don't speak German or French after they're done with school. German is
enough like Dutch to make sense of it when you hear it, but French is so different...

Yeah, it's very different, and one can lose it very quickly if not regularly practised. for sure.

Well, the job may be short lived. I didn't perform a miracle in four lessons and it seems like they might not be using me again.
On the other hand, my studio projects are coming along very nicely. I care much more about the music so the other thing is just too bad. Something
else will turn up.
