Girls Aloud Can’t Speak French

Posted by Lucy under Language Courses UK

And neither can I! Which is why I’m going to bite the bullet and get myself signed-up to an evening French course in Brighton. It’s been a long while since I studied the language at GCSE and I’ve really wanted to pick it up again. After travelling around France last summer on holiday, I felt that certain words and phrases were coming back to me but not enough to speak confidently. I can understand a lot more that I can say which is a bit frustrating - and means I have to gesticulate a lot to make myself understood. A beginner’s course is probably a bit basic so I’ll try the next step up and see how I get on. Incidentally the new Girls Aloud song is great - and the video is definitely one pour les hommes!
