Alors! Je suis tres folle!

My next french assignment is due by Friday, and I have it pretty much finished. All I have to do now is record the spoken part - for which I'm not getting marked, mind you - on to one of the handy dandy cassette tapes the OU supplied.

Why, in this age of technology - when I'm doing the online version of the course - can't I submit it on mp3? Why did I have to go spend nearly thirty quid on a tape recorder when I had to buy a new microphone-headset for the tutorials anyway?

I've got my script written, and I think it's accurate but it's too late to ask one of my language-savvy friends to check it over for me. I should get it recorded tonight, but I can already feel that ain't gonna happen. I'm too stressed right now.

I can only hope that the fact my tutor's in the next town over will work in my favour post-wise. Plus I don't have a jiffy-bag to post the tape in just now.

Alors, j'ai eu une idee merveilleuse. J'ai ecrit une histoire de <> dans laquelle la grandmere de Dan est francaise. Elle parle, naturellement, le francais, mais moi, pas tellement. Je pourrais vous obliger a liter son dialogue et a voir comment mal j'ai fait des erreurs.

That's if I ever get back to writing it, of course. It's a WiP I started a couple of years ago. Cat said she'd like it if I finished it for her birthday, but I'm not at all sure I can. (Certainly not tonight, I'm far too tired.) But if I do, as you see from the above, my French is strictly schoolgirl level. Of course, even if I spoke it better it wouldn't help, Grandmere is Parisienne and that's what she speaks. Which I do not.

The OU is always some 10-15 years behind the time with technology, I'm afraid.
