I felt so tired and headachy today at the French class but persevered anyway. I'm realising the most difficult part is the pronunciation. It takes a certain amount of openness, and letting go of old patterns, to pronounce these words. Twisting my tongue around French vowel sounds lets me see how used to my old speech patterns I am. One part is being able to hear and notice, the other is replicating what is said. Listening sure takes a lot of skill.
