What have you done anyway?
I’m typically not a rebellious person. But there are other things that I’ll stick to. And run with. Like this site. I’m not a French teacher, or expert in the language by any stretch of the imagination. Not even close. All the same, I’m keeping this going. Working on improving my French.
As I type this, my daughter is playing her V-Tech French toy, singing songs I don’t understand. And stories that I can only guess at. Of course, when it says “Chicken Little” in a French accent, I can guess which story it is.
At any rate, here I am, continuing to push on. I will continue to work on these lessons and I hope you continue to join me. I create each lesson and then I go through and try it just as you might. I start on elementary and slowly work up to the most advanced (completely blank quizlet), trying to fill out the whole lesson. I recommend you progress the same way on each snippet.

Monet dira plus tard : « Si je suis devenu peintre, c’est à Eugène Boudin que je le dois ».
Quand Monet annonce à ses parents qu’il veut devenir peintre et aller à Paris, ses parents ne sont pas du tout d’accord, mais Monet décide de partir quand même.
L’expression « quand même » signifie que Monet va partir à Paris sans l’autorisation de ses parents. Il a une relation difficile avec son père qui est un homme conformiste alors que Monet est plutôt rebelle.
Monet will say later: “If I became a painter, it is to Eugène Boudin that I owe it”.
When Monet announces to his parents that he wants to become a painter and go to Paris, his parents do not agree at all, but Monet decides to leave anyway.
The expression “quand même” means that Monet is going to Paris without his parents’ permission. He has a difficult relationship with his father who is a conformist man while Monet is rather rebellious.
