Lesson 3: Our Second French Friday!

Bonjour! For those that it may concern this is Aaron.

Our next French Friday is almost here! It will be held at my humble apartment. If anyone needs directions please shoot me and email or text. Here is the list of words for you all to read and enjoy. As always, I am no French expert so feel free to correct me. I hope to see you all there for some fun cooking and language learning. We will be preparing a simple but wonderful traditional French dish, Ratatouille. I'll also have some salad and perhaps a bottle or two of wine. It is a French Friday after all. 

Please bring yourselves and a five to pitch in for the food. Also, if you could please rsvp by text or email, I am very good at both, by Tuesday so I can purchase the food and beverages.

Finally, here it is. The next list! Thank you all and keep on being your cool selfs.
