HOST FAMILY!

Okay, I know I'm breaking my self-imposed one-post-a-month rule. But this is a special occasion, because guess what? I have a host family! Elation does not even begin to describe it. I don't know much, except that I have 2 host sisters, Vero and Morgane, and parents Daniel and Nelly (which seems to me to be the most un-French name ever...). Oh, and I have a host cat, Fleep-flip.

I actually don't even know where they live, so I'll update this post once they reply to my clumsily written French email (Vero wrote to me in English--I think she's the only one who speaks English? That would be good).

Yay yay yay! I'm going to go do my happy dance now.

  2. Lucie,
    You are right the name, Nelly, does not sound the least bit French, but a colleague of mine, a French teacher at Shady Side Middle School, has that same "prenom" and she is from Bretagne. I think it has something to do with the influence of American GIs in France during World Wars I and II.
    Bisous,
    Mr. J
