Greetings from Marseille! I am half way through my 6 weeks here. Some days the French flows better than other days. I am shadowing a GP in a rural medical practice around an hour away from Marseille. The vocabulary that I am learning is mostly in the presentation of problems by the patient. It is a fantastic learning opportunity and I am extremely grateful to Dr Houn and his wife for their help.
For the first 2 weeks, I was house-sitting and cat-sitting for a Scottish family and I am very grateful for the use of their house. Though I am less thankful to the cat for the frequent gifts of nearly-dead lizards and mice! I am now living in a shared flat with a girl from the Christian Union in Marseille.
Me on St. Victoire.
I am involved in my local church here and am also involved in a puppet presentation of the story of Jonah that the AIM team here are doing on Saturday 14th May. I am managing to squeeze in some time with friends here, some Frisbee practices (for a different knowledge of vocabulary) and I finally managed to climb the local mountain, St Victoire.
