I'm looking forward to what you choose to read and watch and do, Becky. I love this event!
ReplyDeleteIs your Cyrano de Bergerac in French? I wish I could understand French well enough to listen to books on tape or watch movies and catch all the words.
ReplyDeleteI watched Cyrano de Bergerac in French with English subtitles, but, I haven't reviewed that yet. I read the play in English. And I listened to the audio book in English. It sounds great in French. I pick out a few words, but, would be lost without subtitles.
