Since I'm looking for new work, and I live in Quebec, I've decided to do some work on my French. I did my entire high school in French, but I live in an Anglophone part of town, and worked in a store in this part of town, so I haven't been working in a Francophone environment. I haven't lost my French, by any means, but being immersed in it makes a big difference. Like the old bicycle, it comes back to you, but I want to feel more confident.
I'm just trying to decide how to go about it. I'm considering an advanced French course, because a school environment, with homework, and a bit of daily/weekly immersion tends to work well. But there are a lot of language schools here and I don't know which are the best.
I don't want to buy language on CD courses, cause they're European French and I'll learn weird expressions, and useless phrases like "Garçon! Amener les cuisses de grenouilles!"
-- Oh wait! The Université de Montréal has evening courses in the late spring, super cheap for residents. Ooh. Maybe I can start with my Home Plan and then enroll in this. It's only two nights per week. Hm hmm! --

so excitin'!
My library website shuts down for maintenance every night at 11 PM or so. Of course, it's always after 11 PM that I'm wondering if they have a book so I can decide whether to buy it or not. But I've found a site that shows you whether a book is owned by your local library. Yippy!

I need to be connected to the library at all times, baby.
