I started to take French classes in January this y

I started to take French classes in January this year - before that, I had took some classes for three months yearsssss ago. So I was curious to see how it would be my experience in Paris - this last trip was my first time visiting the city after starting my journey to learn French.

To be honest, I had low expectations and no confidence. But I’m glad I proved myself wrong. It all started during the flight, when I could understand the announcements in French before the translation to English. After arriving in Paris, I paid attention to everything in my surroundings - nothing beats the experience of immersing yourself in a language. And I almost cried 🤣 when I had my first interaction in French at a store: asking if my credit card was accepted, spell my email and understanding the total amount.

I guess instead of focusing on the “OMG this is so hard and I don’t know anything” I decided to celebrate my small wins. It brought me so much joy to realize what I know and being able to do small tasks, like paying for something or just understanding some announcement.

So, I’m just sharing this to remind you that progress takes time and doesn’t happen overnight.
Meanwhile, let’s celebrate the small wins.

Thanks to my amazing teacher @karlacostafrances - and to my sister @flaneriephoto who was so supportive 🥹❤️

Dalbit is a rescue dog and a very anxious pup. He still has a long way to go, but seeing him come out of his shell since we adopted him two and a half years ago is so rewarding 😭
