I'm in Paris for a mini-vacation and cultural experience before I embark on my volunteering service with the Salesian Sisters in Kinshasa, Congo next week. I had hoped the experience of being in a strange land though westernized and speaking a foreign language would prepare me for being in a more foreign land and I might have better French by then.
I'm testing myself today and realize I need more practice and more faith in my abilities. It is scary being here on my own and barely speaking French, but I got myself some books and will find myself at a cafe reading French and practicing. Courage!
Everyday is a learning experience, my comprehension is getting better and understanding the accent and doing it right makes a world of difference. This is me getting ready for Congo.
