Language Lessons

Because the international date, from hereafter who will be called "Islander" has lived in England, he's picked up a few lessons in French. Which is just perfect because I know Spanish. So,when we communicate, we've found that the two of us rely on our second languages but the other has no idea what the other is saying. As a result, he decided to take time today to teach me French. I'd like to think I'm a wiling student however, I don't think Skype quality necessarily allows me to say every word correctly. It's quite sexy to hear his English-inspired accent pronouncing the French words over and over as I attempt them. In fact, it's downright distracting. And as if that wasn't enough to distract me, he chose today to teach me how to say "C'est mon compain" or in English, "this is my boyfriend." Ummm... really, I didn't know we had reached that title status. In fact, I thought we were still in the "continuing to get to know each other phase." My ability to retain anything he taught me after that was nil. I hope he's a patient teacher. Or that he can catch on to Spanish when it's my time to instruct.
