Diving in!

First I would like to say that I am now at (LMRC) : The Lasalle Multicultural resource Center.
My host name is Auvril and she does not speack french, this is an opportunity for me to practice my speech. At this center I did a text translantion from english to french, the text has about 130words in english, and once translated in french the text has 180words! Thats a major difference. I liked to do the translation, I needed help but as she does not speak french she could not help me so I used a website to help me : www.worldreference.com
My host is very polite and she is not stressing me at all, I know that if I dont understand what she say she will not get mad. I learned a couple of new words there like : youth ( jeune ) a word I had to look for the translation. Senior ( personne de lage dor ) I know it because Auvril is a senior and when she said it I did not understand so she said that Seniors are older people. Blossom ( fleurir ) I say this word on a sign in the room and as I did not know this word I asked Auvril its meaning. The hardest work I had to do was the translation but it is a good way to practice and I would like to do more of those. I noticed that in english texts, sentences are longer than in french, I am not sure if its always like that but in the translation I had to do ther were big sentences. I will writ the text down to show you what it is about.

So this is the text I had to translate in french!
I think its important to say that even if Auvril does not speak french, body gestures helps a lot and I use it very often. Otherwise I dont have much difficulty to talk with her.
