• Special Thanks Post for Thomas and James

    August 3, 2023 in France ⋅ 🌙 20 °C

    I want to say thank you to Thomas and James. For Thomas it's a 3x tanks! Because he not only gave the inspiration and impulse to me, to strengthen my English skills but, by that, or better by introducing James, also my children, Johannes and Charlotte, got a lot of practice and knowledge by their classes with James.

    But let's start with the "why now": it's so great to feel comfortable to speak to anyone in English without thinking about it.
    (Well, actually, even before my English lessons with James I felt good speaking English to anyone. But – maybe – they (the other party) didn't feel well 😅)

    Here in France, I have met so many people who are not able (or willing) to have a talk in English. Even if they'd like to. That's so sad.

    Two days ago, I met a French teacher for Physics and Chemicals. We had great discussions about live, parsnip, philosophy, and the rest – and all in a language that isn't our mother tongue. That's an amazing experience. Also with Elise and Ludovig I had so many inspiring and intense talks and discussions during the first week.

    And that's because of you, Thomas and James.

    And as mentioned above it continues: also Johannes and Charlotte feel very much comfortable to just talk English. That's so amazing to see! At their age, I didn't feel that free to talk English! And they owe you that, James! And, ultimately, also you, Thomas!

    I just typed this text and most likely there're a lot of grammar mistakes. But that wasn't important to me right now.
