As fer Fascists, thae damaged fowk o the staffroom did sally forth an fight. An sae did the French Resistance an maist o the #Jerriais whae were left tae be occupied an starve. Tae teach German on Jersey ye need aw the humility ye can muster.
Ma mither wis daein her year abroad teachin in #Moissac in the thirties durin the financial crash. Gin ye are French ye will ken whit #Moissac signifies.

I didna ken I’d land up in the island o #jerriais.with its fascinating and un British heritage. Thus we get weirdly equipped by fate tae recognise the road that suddenly rises afore us.6 or mebbe 7/n

Bouan Noué à tous!

One of the reasons I loved living in #Jersey so much was #Jerriais the Norman French language of the island.
It's an endangered language with very few speakers left.
Thought I'd buy myself a wee gift to act as a bookmark in my Jerriais phrasebook. I'll get back to Jersey for a visit at some point 🇯🇪
