German in France

Cou cou,
I have to say it is really hard to not be able to keep up real conversation, though wanting to express yourself somehow. So I just mash up all the languages that I so far know and create my own, just so maybe they understand at least a tiny bit :) ..sometimes I just nod and smile :P
I have been getting waaay to kreativ in class. Since I don't understand a word I just sit there and amuse myself with this really funny paper they have. And all the stuff that I wirte down?... all hieroglyphics for me :P
You know that I am joining german klass here. So they learn all this stuff that I should be knowing about germany and the german language...but haha, the teacher wrote a sentance a student said on the whiteboard and then there was a mistake, so she asked where the mistake was. Everyone knew, well I knew too but then she wanted the explication for this...and the class was like: ahhh it's the genitiv! I was like: What the heck is the genitiv :PP yes I suck in german and now I have the verification for this!
..but it's getting better :) she gave us a worksheat today where they should guess which parties actually exist in germany:

 I'd love to have a chocolateparty :))
Ah...and also I wanted to tell you that the french people make the same mistake that the germans do with the age, just the other way around..so they say "ich habe 16 jahre" (of course with their cute accent) and germans say "je suis 16 ans"(of course with their horrible accent) :PP

In french class I get extra excercises...pretty happy about that because now I don't have to learn all this stuff about les personnages realist...what ever this means :)) I tried to translate it with all sorts of tools...but I think none of them said the right thing, and if so, I still have know idea. 

So on saturday I will be playing tennis...really happy about that. I am going to be doing this now every saturday from 10 till 12 am :))

Some of you asked me to take some pictures...I will try to...but I feel kind of a bit awkward to be running around with my camera the whole time :))

See you soon

First week is over ;)

Salut,
my first week here is already over. haha can't believe it :)
I decorated my room with some fotos of my lovely friends and now I feel a bit more like home.
I did not get homesick and I found some friends at school...although I don't understand a word in class :) But I had my first German lesson on thursday. It was really fun...I'm sitting next to girl who speaks german really well and she is really interested in languages :) So now I kind of help her in lerning german and she helps me with understanding what the teachers say :))
French lesson is really hard. The teacher wrote a test in the first week...but since I don't understand a word, she gave some different task. I had to write down what sort of books I read...I had to think a loooong time...because I don't read :P and especially not in french!
But I know that I am only here for learning french and making experiences, so I won't make myself stress :)


So know I just came back from visiting the sister of Laurance (my hostmum) and her family. There are two kids and the dad speaks a little german...but actually really well :) And they have an amaaaazing house. It's all wooden but also kind of modern..so just reaally nice. And they where all really gentil and he kept on talking about german traditions and of course about beer :))
It was a really nice day...although it's raining the whole time...but I like it, it's kind of cosy :)
And since we talked about german traditions I will be cooking some german food for the family...so if you guys have any tips or anything nice german that comes to your mind, please comment :))

My suuper language knowledge :P

Bonjour mes amis,
ok so this was the second schoolday, but kind of the first real one. We had math during the first lesson. You know I always thought that math would be the same in every language and alle around the world...but it actually isn't. They do the stuff that I can actually do, completly different...but since I haven't had math for around about 3 month, I completly forgot everything. So now I don't remember how to do it the german way and ofcourse I didn't understand the french way :P ...but I have soo less math (3 hours a week) that I don't really care :))
I was really happy and I kind of felt safe, when we had english...because the english teacher only speaks english in class, so it's the only subject, apart from german, where I am able to participate :P
And then we tow hours of geography and history...I again, didn't understand a word he said. It is sooo enormus fast. But the teacher is really nice, so I'm a bit less scared now :P
It kind of seems to me, that they don't have alot of subjects at school...like I have only english, french, german, history&geography (which is in one lesson), math and this subject called economie et sociales...don't know what that is jet, I will find that out tomorrow :P

So when a teacher says something, I kind of understand this:
djlsjwkafpakdopkef...comme ca....ijpadjlaöeköajwk...oui...sijalsdjaisdjlefhsnelvsnv....le bac.....jflajflwejfjfpsjfe...le bac.....ajfjwlefjpojpsjfpef...votre bac....ifjlfjwefpwejfp!

And my brain works like this, at the moment:
I think toujour über tous nach...je sais pas warum...that est tres komisch!

First schoolday :/

Saluuut,
so today was my first day at school and it was all a bit confusing, because it is sooo much different to the german schools :P
The first day sort of starts really late for them. We went out of the house at 12:30 and picked up some friends of damien and around about 1 pm we were at the school. There we had to look at this plan where all the classes were written on and where, in which room, they have the first 2 lessons. It's strange because it seems like the classes change every new school year :) so all the students where kind of really loud and excited :PP
So then we waited there for another hour and 2 pm we went into our classes and right away to get our books...there was a little problem with my books because somehow no one seemed to know that I am attending this school :PP but it got solved out and now I have my books :) but since it took a bit of time to solve the problem, all my class memebers where already gone and so I came a bit late for the start...I hate it to come late and then everybody is staring at you and you don't even speak the language...so I just came in said "Pardon" and sat down next to a pretty tall girl...but she and the two girls behind me were really nice and they helped me to understand at least the most important stuff :P one guy came up to me and was like "ahhh guten tag"...it sounds really sweet when french people talk german...I like it :)
yes so we sat there and listend to the teacher telling all this stuff about the upcoming year and she kept on talking about the bac (the final exams in france)...but I didn't nuderstand a word she said...it was sooooo fast :PP
Then she also gave us alooot of papers which our parents have to sign and we also got our timetable...emploi du temps :P The schoolday in france is sooo long. On average I am at school from 8 am until 4 pm...the longest day is tuesday, I have to stay in school until 5:30 pm :(( ...but I think like this I wont get bored :P I am also learning german in french...pretty much the only subject, appart from english, where I will be able to say something :PP
So this was the first day at a french school...lets see what tomorrow will bring...the first subject is maths :(( I hate it...but at least maths is the same in every language :PP

At the moment my brain s really confused. It doesn't really know it which language to think, so it just mixes english and german, with a little bit of french :PP really weird and completly exhausting :D

3. day in Reignier

Cou cou,
now I have been here for 3 days and I still understand only half of what they say :PP but my family is very nice and they are very patiente with me :)) that makes it alot easier for me.
Yesterday I called my mum, just to say everthing is alright and I don't know why, but afterwards I felt a bit sick...it was a bit awkward...so I will try to not have too much kontakt with her, so it's easier for me to not get homesick, because that feeling is just horrible.
But today I could sleep in one more time, because tomorrow school is starting and I am like sooooo excited and also a bit scared...I really don't understand much :P
After lunch I went to play tennis with Damien (hostbrother) and it was pretty cool, just waaay too hot....but we played easy so it was ok :)
And around 4 o'clock we went to visit my school...it is pretty big, well 1000 students...but it was nice to see it befor I have to go there tomorrow :P We got this card so I can have lunch there and did some formal stuff...I will be in class Premier ESC1 (if I understood that right :P). It is really difficult, the schoolsystem over here :P but I will get to know it tomorrow :) and I will be learning german in french, which is really funny :))
So thats all for today, I will be reporting about the first day at my knew school tomorrow :)

A demain
xoxo, Klara
