[QUOTE="JabbaPapa, post: 584195, member: 195"] eum, intéressant ... [I]très intéressant[/I] !!! Although as a "purist" I'm naturally disinclined against any Caminos not made continuously from Point A to Santiago [I]at least[/I] ; unless to some other major Shrine such as Fatima, Lourdes, or Rome (.... hmmmm actually that's a pretty decent idea ; why not Le Puy to Lourdes ??? That would be an unimpeachable pilgrimage "purism"-wise, and you'd get to do virtually all of it on the Camino !!! Plus, the Pilgrims Hostel at Lourdes is, with [I]Fénix[/I] at Villafranca, one of the two absolute best of the entire Camino (withstanding the Paradors for those who can afford them, and certain manner of exceptional hospitality for practising Faithful Catholics at some Abbeys or Monasteries or so forth) ; even go via SJPP if you wanted and had sufficient time) Don't worry about the French -- but taking the lessons is most certainly a good idea, so carry on with them. But I'd suggest asking your tutor to focus on the most basic Grammar first, plus the most basic and useful shopping and "tourist" vocabulary (stuff like how to ask for a room, how much?, numbers so you can understand prices, basic grammar to understand "[I]dumbed-down frog for foreigners[/I]", how to ask and understand directions, how to pronounce a bewildering variety of village names, and -- even more importantly -- essential politeness and étiquette, such as the need to say "bonjour"/"bon soir"/"bonne nuit"/"merci beaucoup"/"s'il vous plaît"/"vous êtes bien gentil(le)"/and so on and so forth that are social necessaries for a good pilgrim experience in those villages and towns. Also, the French will be kind with your bad hearing, as long as you can ask your tutor to teach you the sorts of methods that the French themselves use when they find themselves in such predicament. Finally, your French will improve whilst you are in France. --- Good luck, and Buen Camino !!! [/QUOTE]
