In three weeks time we’re going to the South of France with Pieter’s family.

We’re staying in The Old Presbytery near Estaing, Lot Valley. Its an old stone house with 5 bedrooms and a secluded pool. It’ll be my first time in France so I can’t wait!

In preparation I’m learning French on the BBC Languages site:
Learn French online – basics for beginners in 24 manageable steps. It’s practical every-day French and there are sound clips for everything so you can get your accent perfect. This course will be more handy than a phrase book!

If French isn’t your thing, they also offer Spanish, German and Italian – and its all FREE! I’m thrilled to bits with this website.
