In the past week and a half or so I have made a good new friend here in Belgium, my friend Michelle's new host sister, Valentine. Jordann, Michelle, Valentine, and I have formed an extremely fun little group of bilingual buds (Valentine is learning English, and can actually carry on a pretty good conversation, but we still all speak in French a LOT. Which is totally fine by me!!!). It's actually the first time that Jordann, Michelle, and I have really spoken to each other in French, though it's still a bit strange! We have a lot of fun teaching each other slang and swears (or "gros mots"), and laughing like hyenas at our accents. Now that is something that you certainly don't get in French class. :)
