http://michel-englishcourse.blogspot.com/2010/11/sumer-and-writing-advent.html
Let's write in English! Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Sumer and the writing advent. Sumerian is the oldest written language in the world. It was spoken in Mesopotamia since 4000 BCE. The earliest writing that were found, are dated to 3300 BCE : they are some clay tablets with cuneiform writing. The subject were about business exchange . I guess that administrative documents should already be numerous . I am very surprised because the old language had a sophisticated grammar. Article about cuneiforrm writing.

Saturday, 12 March 2011. FRENCH CINEMA (The best in the world). Rather than talking about major French success, I prefer to present you films that reflect the real French cinema. So here are three films that I love:. Un long dimanche de fiançailles :. And historical film with Audrey Tautou, the main actress in an another famous French movie: “Amelie Poulain.

Georges: Could you imagine? Parrots-are-left-handed !!
http://georgeschapon.blogspot.com/2011/02/could-you-imagine-parrots-are-left.html
Thursday, 3 February 2011. Http:/ www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/wildlife/8300766/Parrots-are-left-handed.html. This is an article from "the Telegraph", an English newspaper. A very serious study inform us that parrots are ,like humans, left or right handed .Extraordinary, isn't it? It seems that their brain is organised as the human brain . So ,I ask a question: if these intelligent animals, who are able to speak, are left or right handed as us ,when will they replace me at work? This could change my life!

English course: March 2011

Let's write in English! Monday, March 7, 2011. Personally ,I like going to Autrans to ski. This resort is near Grenoble and you can take the bus to go there (4.70€ a single ticket). The drive last only one hour. I suggest you to learn nordic skiing. Autrans have a 160 kms of ski trails in some beautiful landscape. Nordic skiing is less dangerous than alpine skiing and easier to learn. At Autrans, you can make dog sledging. Or hike on snowshoes, as well. It is better to feel the mountain atmosphere!
