Diplôme de Français des Affaires, 1er Degré: The Results

So, I took this exam before I left Paris last June, and I’ve been waiting patiently for my results.

My certificate arrived today. I passed with a mention très bien, which indicates a score of 80% or better and is the highest mark given. Yippee!

The End of Classes

No more pencils!
No more books!
No more teacher’s
Dirty looks!

Yesterday marked the end of my French classes (at least for the time being!). I’m feeling a little bit wistful now.

Now I have one last week in Paris, free of classes, before I head for Prague and my next round of classes. Whatever shall I do?…

That fatal phrase

It’s worth pointing out that, to date, I have not once heard that fatal phrase, "My, what good French you speak, for an American".

I don’t know if I’ve changed, or the French have. The most likely explanation, actually, is that I’m living in a residential neighborhood with a substantial immigrant population, so my French is not particularly noteworthy one way or another.

Looking for more?
