Almost every single day we have French class. I am in the intermediate-mid class with 4 others. Our language instructor is amazing!! We're lucky because she's one of the few Burkinabe instructors whose French is easy to understand. We can understand all of the language instructors, but her accent isn't as thick because she taught in France for three years.
We meet in tons of different locations around the city of Leo in order to learn the culture. The pictures below are of our favorite spot. We sit at a table under a large, shady tree. Sometimes we order coffee and/or tea since we're near a little restaurant.

| One of the trees we will sit under. The teepee used to be a fence, but the goats/pigs/sheep knocked it down. Ca va aller! |
 |
| The kids in the area will sometimes flock to meet us. We fist bump kids. In French, the word is "tampon." Not kidding. |

| My water bottle makes a cameo. Just another day in French class! |

| This mama goat JUST had baby goats! The babies are cute like puppies...at least I think so. ;) Talk about a distraction when trying to learn French! |
Great update Kathleen, the goats are so cute it would be hard to study when you want to cuddle them instead! - Kathryn
