I didn't know I spoke French I haven't been working for the last 2 weeks because I got sick. Honestly, I didn’t want to quit my previous job because I liked it. But, I decided to stay at home for one week to recover. Even though I notified my supervisor, when I got back to work I was told I had been laid off. Yesterday morning, I applied for a new job. I woke up early to practice the interview questions and watched a motivational video. When I got to the building there were around 20 people applying for the position. I walked up to the receptionist and handed him my resume. Then, I sat down next to a guy who seemed very confident. I started to talk to him in English, because the description said they were looking for people with an advanced English level. My new friend and I were waiting in the lobby for over 2 hours. We were talking in English all the time. This helped me relax. All of the sudden this guy said a word in French and I made a comment about France. We engaged in an interesting conversation about France, culture, and art. I don’t know why, but he started to speak in French. So, we continued the conversation in that language. We spoke in French for over 20 minutes then the recruiter called his name and he left. Now, I meditate about that event. And I've come to the conclusion that the human brain is powerful and beautiful. I've been watching videos in French for the last 2 years just for fun. At the beginning I used to watch videos with the subtitles. And most of the time I didn't understand the speaker. But, I've always found French beautiful and romantic. So, I didn't care if I only understood 10% of the words. French is like music for me. Over time I've been able to understand more and more. Nowadays, I'm able to watch a 30 min. video on You tube and understand 80- 95 % of the words, depending on the topic. I see this activity as a hobby. I listen to music in French too and follow 2 French teachers on Facebook. I also read articles and do my best to get the message. But, I never speak French. In fact, yesterday was my first time. I think I was able to keep a fluent conversation because I felt relax. My new friend made me feel confident and because of that I didn't care if I made mistakes. I'm sure I made a lot. But, we had a great time speaking French. It was like a dream for me; but it really happened. I tried to speak in French this morning and I wasn't able to form a logical phrase. Now I regard that event as a miracle.
