"It is imperative that you respond to me quickly because February isn't good for me. I have one month of vacation in March.
Kisses ( to all or and more - not sure)"
I never get correspondence like that from school directors.

| I'd recommend hiring Decon to write your response. He lives in a whacky, wonderful world. |

| "A plus" is an informal equivalent of "a bientot". It's kind of like saying "later" as opposed to "see you later". |

mes vacances = my holidays, she may have less than a month.
And babelfish will only translate 'correct' French, not SMS French, which is a different country entirely. C cler?
A plus tard. |

"Babelfish will only translate correct French"
Doesn't mean you'll get correct English out the other end though! |

Bang on. Same informal connotation, but more apt than my "a bientot". My bad.  |

 I saw a good flick last nite calld CACHE, as in Hidden, as in the Meaning was somewhat Hidden and Unfathomable----excellent flick tho, esp if you like Juliette Binoche. What has this got to do with teaching English you may well inquire.... uh, broadly speaking, it has evertyhting to do with education and exclusion and inclusion, you know, diversity and all that stuff. Its a must-see, a faut-voir...
BTW Welcome de retour the Hidden...........Shaman! |
