New eyes. We are (were) in France for 10 months. I'm teaching (taught) English and he's studying (studied) French language and culture. We're seeking (sought) to learn about this country and about ourselves. If we do this right, we'll gain new perspectives on both. (We did! I'm not sure if I'm going to keep this blog alive or not.)

Learning French from Kids
Après que je me suis présentée aux élèves d'une classe CM1, une fille a dit « Je n'ai rien pigé. » L'enseignant, Monsieur D, a expliqué que ça veut dire « Je n'ai rien compris » mais c'est familier.
"Piger" is kind of like "to follow". My co-worker is always like "Tu piges?" to the students. And of course, the answer is always a blank stare.
