Outside... again!

[alexpgp]

After quitting the Starbucks in Webster, I drove home via the Hong Kong market, where I picked up some food and arrived home only a few minutes after Natalie. After dinner, she asked if I would be interested in driving with her to her Wing Chun class (mostly to provide an air-conditioned environment in my rental car).

What the heck? Why not?

So here I am, at another Starbucks, trying out the T-Mobile service up in the Galleria area.

* * *Maintenant, je dois pratiquer le francais. Mais je ne sais pas comment le faire bien. Mais comment m'y prendre? Peut-etre je pouvais pourrais trouver un livre chez le B&N, dans lequel se trouve ce cafe?

Il me reste une heure et dix minutes avant que je dois faire un mon rendez-vous avec ma fille. Peut-on apprener apprendre quelque chose dans cette intervale?

Oh, that felt pathetic. And I can't use accented letters (at least not Unicoded ones).

Cheers...

Oh c'mon it wasn't that bad - understandable at least. If you want help on anything, or want to mail me in French, or have a few sessions in French on AIM, just yell. Here's a few things:
If you want to avoid the subjunctive after 'avant que' (which means 'je doive', try 'il me reste... avant mon rendezvous'. And it's 'apprendre'. And 'pourrais' is conditional, 'pouvais' is past imperfect.
Also, try 'Mais comment m'y prendre?' for 'I don't know how to approach it'.
As I said, if you're interested in some 'colloquial' chat in which I offer my (not perfect) French, please *do* yell :)
