I have been working in England since April but haven’t had much opportunity to speak English. Living with a family is very different from renting an apartment. I am enjoying the quiet, relaxing atmosphere in this town. It is comfortable. Y

It’s Robin’s last day before travelling back to France on Saturday, so we had our final lesson in the morning before my sister and I took him out to a typical English village outside London where she has a small cottage.  Well, it was only his third sunny day in two weeks and I felt [...]

Yesterday was my first day. We did a lot of things, check my test, presentation, reading from a newspaper, listening to the radio. It was quite interesting, never boring, and in the end I felt quite exhausted. After a quick lunch and a little rest, we went for a stroll in town and buy an [...]

It was 3.00 o’clock and it was time to leave the house to go to the hill. The weather was a little bite cloudy, never mind it was warm enough. We drove to the bottom of Killiney Hill. We parked the car just in front of the stairs to access this well-known viewing point. We [...]

This is our last day of lessons plus the final review and paperwork except for tomorrow’s blog, of course. It is a beautiful day with bright sunshine and no rain, as usual! Breakfast was at the normal time, but we continued our conversation until well after the usual starting time for the lessons. Oh well! [...]

Saturday May 21st I took Gilles to the airport this morning, and came back to find his room cleaned from top to bottom – I remarked to the wife that it was almost cleaner than we made it in preparation for his visit! If there was a category for this on my evaluation form he [...]

Thursday 19th Breakfast has been getting later and later, because we sit down with an early cup of coffee at 8.30am, and the conversations get longer as he grows in confidence. He’s a morning person, so he’s fresher then, and has usually been awake since 6 and revising. I need the first cup just to become [...]
