French Fridays and education for problem-solving

Here is where I am in my study of written French this week, which is actually listening, since I’m listening to LivreVox.org, as volunteers read books in the Public Domain, as this one by Dumas, right now.  I have finally reviewed this book, as I finished it some years later!

My notes from the past week:

–

October 20, 2020 –40.0% “”L’homme propose, et l’argent dispose !”
Bien lu !
“Man proposes and money disposes!”
Well read!”

 

October 20, 2020 –41.0%”Romeo and juliet across two different generations!! And, delicious dramatic irony…”

 

October 20, 2020 –43.0%”Fin de Ch. 52: on vas se tuer qui ?”

 

October 21, 2020 –50.0% “Le Testament : je sais que ce livre est déjà la lecture obligatoire dans les lieux francophones, mais ce chapitre doives aussi être Aux États-Unis.
The Will: I know that this book is required reading for French speakers, but this chapter should also be required reading in the United States.”

So, it turns out that there are ingenious ways to communicate with, or rather to be communicated with by, paralytics, even before the high technology that allowed the rich aristocrat from the film Intouchables to communicate (oops, sorry, he could still talk, unlike, I think, the late genius Steven Hawking).  More on my continuing striving with French next week, friends:

Yassas,   γεια σας!    Salût !  Nos vemos!  Görüşürüz!     ! שָׁלוֹם

Action Items in support of literacy and hope that you can take right now:

1.) Search for two different resources to translate the word “communicate” into French.

2.)  Share your thoughts on how you like each of the resources you found,

4.) Write a book, story, blog post, or tweet that uses a French word.
