The communication, as a whole is going pretty well. I feel like I am learning more and more each day. My family also tries to accomodate me, speaking slowly and explaining things a few times. Gestures and pointing also work as well.
I am also becoming a better speaker. But I've noticed that when I am put on the spot, my mind becomes a jumble and I completely forget how to say what I want. This is especially true in restaurants and check-out lines.
Each day I have been reading the newspapers at the metro stations and I think that I am understanding most of the stories. The only problem appears to be vocabulary. Mdme Munier's class is helping a lot with that. However, even as I understand more vocabulary, it is hard for me to actually use it. I find myself reverting back to the same old vocabularty set I've used since age 15. Lately, I've been playing a little game to see how much new vocab and l'argot I can use each day.

Hey! Whatever works: games, flash cards, etc. All that matters is that it works for you.
