eveglassToday's class was actually much better than yesterday's. We started off with seven students, which ballooned up to eleven towards the end of the morning as a few more people from my original school showed up. So we've got enough people to keep the class from getting merged -- barely.
In terms of content, it was a lot better than yesterday's. Yesterday's class mostly involved the standard "talk to the person sitting next to you and introduce them to the group." Today's class was full of actual writing exercises and some reading comprehension questions on an article. Many of the other students seem to be in the same situation as me: good spoken French but problems with written French.
So, all told, it's going well. Thank goodness I'll be able to take the 7:50 bus and still get there on time. The extra half-hour sleep-in will do me a world of good. I didn't sleep well last night (two in a row), and here's hoping that tonight I hit the pillow like a rock. A very, very tired rock.
