Au Revoir Bertrand !

One of the things I love most about being at Mount Lawley is the opportunity we get to meet interesting people from all over the world. Bertrand was so popular with students and teachers alike that it was sad to see him go. Today was his last day at our school. Luckily he allowed us to interview him on video so we will get the opportunity to see and hear him on a regular basis while practising our French. Merci bien a` Sandra and Anna-Vicky for the wonderful job they did interviewing him (and in turn being interviewed by him). Once they hve edited the footage it will be available on our blog. Bertrand's stay gave me an opportunity to practice my francais, and reminded me that language learning is like any other skill; if you don't use it, you lose it ! Here are some of Bertrand's impressions of his stay with us.

Monsieur Millimaci

Bonjour, je m'appelle Bertrand. Je suis francais et je vais vous raconter si mon sejour en australie m'a plu ou pas. Pour commencer, l'australie m'a plu sur le sur le pint de la propreter je trouve que la ville de perth est assez propre contrairment a ma ville. Et les gens se respectent plus entre eux ils se parlent poliment et se respectent entre eux. L'Australie est un beau pays et je suis satisfait de mon voyage en Australie plus precisement a Perth mais dommage qu' il n'y est pas eu plus de soleil !!!

Hello, I am Bertrand. I am French, and I am going to tell you about my stay in Australia and whether I liked it or not. To start with, I liked Australia, because I find that Perth is quite big compared to my home town. The people respect each other more and are very polite and respectful. Australia is beautiful and I am very happy with my trip, especially Perth, but it's a pity that there wasn't more sunshine !!!
