You speak french?


Hi again!
Like I said before I will keep in touch with my experience trough my internship and tell you my anecdotes and misadventures during the internship. Today I will tell you about my first impression.
Well the first day I went to the internship I won’t lie I was more than nervous! But once again I worry too much I know but I think that by saying that I can make people who like me get really nervous about new environments and unfamiliar things feel better because you’re not alone.  Well on my first day the first thing I noticed was the ambiance because if the new environment you are in is hostile I don’t think it is easy to be at ease. In my case it was really a nice ambiance so it helped a lot during my first day.
The first day I went to the internship I must admit I did not really prepare myself well enough so for my second day I tried to set me some rules for better preparation:

  1.        Don’t be shy it is normarl to ask question when you are new
  2. When not comfortable with something ask for help
  3. Try your best
  4. GOLDEN RULE  SPEAK ENGLISH no matter what (or try your best to)
Now you may wonder why my last rule is speak English, I mean of course I will speak English, but something not that tempts me, but make me break the rule and is quite funny when I notice is as soon as people in general (mostly English speaker but French also) notice that English is not your mother thong, have accent or have some difficulty to say something they will not correct me but will speak French to me instead of correcting me. Also strangely when you say English is not my mother thong automatically we will speak to you in French. When I first noticed that I tried to come with a solution and the first one that came to my mind was to go back to speaking English subtly. But I still need to find a better solution (and I will) for now if I find anything new I’ll tell you!  Thank you  for reading!
