Hello Rossim,
Thanks; and yes, I was lucky and had a brilliant English teacher -
two in fact, one from 10 to 14, and the second from 14 till, in my case, 18 - Then I spent a year in an English Technical College, and not only I learnt the secreterial/business studies in English, but since I was the only Foreign pupil, I also improved my English - a lot!
On top of this, I had an aunt who lived in Witney and I spent many
holidays with her, This opportunity to practice in the country what I had learnt at school was a invaluable.
And then my first job in Paris was with American Express - English spoken every day.
And finally I lived in England/Channel Islands for nearly 20 years.
There is no miracle! (particularly since in my days at college, we
were taught much more in depth than now - in France at least)
BTW - Are you still keeping an eye on the owlets? The box is
often empty now, but they are around - a lot of hissing sound.
They are beautiful!
