Voila!

Whenever I go out I have a couple phases on the tip of my tongue, ready for when I need to talk to people. Today Sonia had me go to the bakery to pick up some bread. I would like to let you know that everything went better then expected!
I knew what I needed to get, I had rehearsed the lines in my head on the walk over, so I was ready. When it came to be my turn at the counter, the normal bonjour was shared, and then she asked me what I needed, I told her. But on the spot, I did not see the corn bread I was to pick up also, I had to change my sentence right there. But it worked! Mind you she probably knew I wasn't French haha, but hey you can't get mad if I try eh? The next surprising thing was when she spoke to me again, and I didn't even have to think about translating it! I just knew what she said!
I'm getting really good at hearing French, and if its a yes or no question it's easy for me to answer. I still have to practise speaking back in French, but I'm getting more and more confident speaking to the girls. And they are getting better at speaking so I can understand them better.
