Learning in Québec

My photo
I'm someone who began learning French when I was 53. I took a BA in French at 60 but wasn't happy with my level of comprehension (though I read very well). So, having really become comfortable with Spanish only by living on the Mexican border, I'm spending more time in Québec and near the border of Quebec, in Vermont, to see if I can do that here with French. I want to encourage others to do the same.

Un poème, 4 avril, par Iolande Jolicoeur

4 avril.....


....... à la mangeoire, cardinal, chardonneret, sittelle, mésange, se gavent......
.......l’écureuil désinvolte saccage les mangeoires.......un couple de canards s’empiffrent des graines tombées au sol......
                      ......une logique de la chaîne alimentaire.....
....nous....pauvres humains.....sommes tellement “à côté d’la plaque”......
.....le monde en déroute....tant de pays...... désespèrent........

                                                .......comment va ton émouvant jardin ?



photo et poème par Iolande Jolicoeur


at the birdfeeder, cardinal, goldfinch, nuthatch, tit, stuff themselves ......
....... the squirrel casually ransacks the feeders ....... a couple of ducks fill up on the fallen seeds ......
         ...... a logic of the food chain .....
.... we .... poor humans ..... are so "next to the plate" ......
..... the world routed .... so many countries ...... despair ........
                                                .......                              how's your garden coming along?
