Almost every night, there’s a lesson to plan or another piece of homework to complete: a language analysis or a phonetics exercise, for example. True story: I had to cross one example off the phonetics chart. The Brits keep using “cat” as an example of the /ae/ sound. But it’s actually the sound in shot or got or hot. The word ‘cat’ is not a helpful cue for us Americans! 🙂

Dinner this evening was green salad and cheese and a simple white wine. Les fromage de France est incroyable. Ask my sister; I was never a huge fan of cheese as a child. But if I had grown up on French cheese… that would have been different, my friends!
