Back In Class

French classes went much better this week.  The teacher is efficient and organized, and seems to have things pitched at the right level for everyone.  The class is six students in total, all pretty close to my level.  There is a Spanish fellow with whose accent I have some difficulty, and a Finnish girl who may be a little behind the rest of us but could also simply be shy.  The classes are constituted week by week, so it's a little hard to follow a program that suits everyone.  That means we do mostly conversation and vocabulary and not a lot of grammar, or homework.  I could use some more nose-to-the-grindstone rigour, but it's still a big improvement over the 15-20+ classes at the Alliance Francaise.  I've signed up for another week, and we'll see how that goes.
