They aren't that bad

I got a recruiter call today. She had sent an e-mail (in French, of course) and wanted to have a chat, to which I replied I would, if it were in English (I had to try :) ). She said it would be in French as it's a BPO company and employees work on client sites and have to speak la langue de l'amour. I accepted. Now, I was kinda nervous, as my French is still shaky (I know the grammar quite well, as I've studied some it in school, but my vocabulary is lacking), but it surprisingly went quite well. I was able to understand the woman, and apparently she was able to understand me. So I'm officially on my first recruiter list in France woohoo :laugh: I'm still waiting to win the lottery :)

My French is execrable but I've won the lottery several times. I just have to get round to emailing that guy with the funny name at the hotmail lottery company and telling him all my details so he can send me the money.
