Watching The Princess Switch in French - Blogmas day 3

By -

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, 

On Saturday, I decided to watch my favourite Christmas movie, The Princess Switch, in French! As I'm sure many of you already know by now, I'm actually half French and having lived in England for so long now, I often find that it's difficult to keep up with my French. The other day, I was talking to my sister about the difficulties of learning to speak Japanese, which is a language that I'm currently studying in college right now. She said that I've got to immerse myself in the language, which is what I'm attempting to do through listening to things in Japanese. However, I thought that the same principle could apply to my French, so for the first time in a long time, I watched a film in French and it was great. I'm sure that I've already explained to you the basic story of The Princess Switch, but in case you've never watched it before or haven't seen my past blog posts, I will give you a brief run down. In The Princess Switch, a baker from Chicago called Stacey Denovo, enters a Christmas baking competition in Belgravia with her colleague Kevin Richards. Whilst in Belgravia, Stacey coincidentally encounters her doppelganger, the Dunchess Margaret of Montenaro, who is due to marry Prince Edward of Belgravia. Since Stacey and Margaret both look the same, they decide to switch lives for a few days so that Stacey can discover what it is like to be royal and so that Margaret can discover what it is like to be normal. As you can probably already guess, when the two switch places, they end up enjoying their new lives more than their old lives and Stacey falls in love with Edward and Margaret falls in love with Kevin. Basically, there is a lot of romance, a lot of snow, and a lot of Christmas trees. What's not to love for a Christmas movie?😂😀 I decided to watch the film on Netflix since you could easily change the language of the audio from English to French. Although the dubbing was pretty horrendous in the beginning, I got used to it in the end and my brain soon synchronised the lip movements to the audio, so I grew not to see any difference.🤣💜 Overall, it was rather refreshing to hear something that was not in English. I might do the same in the future but maybe in Japanese?

"They shall not grow old,as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them,nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them." To the 60 people that died during WW1 in my village. Many of them were either buried in the location that they fell or were missing and never found.  "Their name liveth for evermore."

Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post, Today, I am going to be doing something a little bit different. I've been on the hunt for something new to study. I looked up 'interesting things to study' and it came up with: How to pickle your own vegetables (?!) Learn a new language ( I am bilingual) Learn to code (been doing enough of that already) Find out more about microbiology (too complicated) I just wanted to find out more about a particular subject. So then I searched up 'interesting SUBJECTS to study'. It came up with this: Mathematics (I'm on holiday)  English (again, I'm on holiday) Complete study and practice of geography ( again,again, I'm on holiday) So I thought. I've been really enjoying history. Let's search up some fun history topics to study. It came up with this. Korean war (meh) Franco-Spanish war (mmh) The Crusades (maybe later) Holocaust (interesting, I've been studying that) So as y

The individuals of the Holocaust: The victims and the perpetrators - Writing Wednesday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  Recently, I got given the opportunity by my school to take part in the Lessons from Auschwitz Online Project, to further my understanding on the events that took place during the Holocaust. I was joined by over a hundred other sixth form students from across the UK and I found it quite amazing that so many young people, whether they already had knowledge on the Holocaust or not, had decided to get involved and educate themselves on such a raw and often confusing historical time period. However, whether selfishly or unselfishly, I decided to take part in this project set up by the Holocaust Educational Trust for myself. I am a big believer in educating and bettering yourself before taking the responsibility of preaching your truth to others, so although I already knew a lot about the Holocaust, I endeavoured to find out more so that I could pass on my valuable knowledge to you, in the hope that you can reciprocate the action for ot
