I fell in love with French the moment I chose to learn it..but I realized it a bit late..just after the delf A 1 exam..Albeit that lateness,I was proud that I could appreciate the language.It is such an elegant language.When I heard it flows;with the correct intonation,the right pronunciation,I would feel tempted,so tempted that I wish I was born as a French,or perhaps having french as my native language..LOL!French are known to be full of passion in their speech.Maybe that strengthen their respective language..but,I'm grateful enough to be born as a Malay and have Bahasa Melayu as my first language.The Malay language doesn't limit my tongue flexibility I guess.So,I can pronounce any language I'd wish to.I could sound like a French,a Spanish,a Portuguese,or any that I'd love to sound like.But of course,it needs practice,and practice..as they say,practice makes perfect!Have you seen French people speaking English?If not,go and hear what they are like..the accent's there..no offence okay!
So how can I choose french?It's like a blessing in disguise..
I was introduced to French in my secondary school.At first,it happened that I had no other choices, from 3 kinds of language;Mandarin seems okay,but the writing..gosh! can't tolerate them..takes more time than I've ever imagine to learn a foreign language.Arabic..the only language that I can't seem to understand its grammar-at that particular time..and it caused my PSRA's to drop too!Shame on me!
I heard myself murmured-"I'm totally done with it!" So only French which was left behind.It looked all Greek to me,and I was undeniably curious and nervous at the same time,I was not sure of my choice but then I can't choose either.It is said that curiosity kills the cat,I hope it won't kill me..ha-ha
So,I carry on with my lessons,and my,the French teacher was totally 'different'.She adored handsome, good looking guys,and unfortunately,(sorry guys!)guys with brains;with 100 and above IQ intelligent.It would be an added value if you are the creme de la creme of the students..certainly annoying at some point (she'd chewed me up-twice!),but overall its fun!Not to mention those silly tricks the students from other classes played on her for being that vain.This is one memory of mine that don't get flushed thoroughly through all this years..how meaningful can it be?Priceless..
Gone for the matriculation program,I didn 't have the opportunity to brush-up my french,time flew at a light speed there.Only now that I'm free enough to go through my favourites,and let alone I'm allowed to take other languages as part of my course.Crossed my fingers!Yay!
With this,I really dreamed of finishing the delf A2 until the delf C2..it's all about the money now.A phrase that keep rehearsing in my head now "Money is not everything" seem no more than a mumbo-jumbo..but if I add "but everything needs money" perhaps it would not sound soo mumbo-jumbo at all..Guess,to complete my A2 I need like RM200-300 plus just for the delf preparation class,exam fee about RM400,course fee is like RM 570..Seeing this amount of money makes me feeble..So,I'll learn as many as I could now..Maybe I'll do delf when I'm working..in a few years ahead.Wish me luck!If I ever laid my hands on that Diploma,part of my dreams will come true..and if God let me :)
