We made it into 2 different newspapers!

On Monday, we invited the press about our reception at Brest city hall. One of the newspapers sent me the article by e-mail. Here it is (click the image to see it bigger):

Here a quick and don't forget awful translation of the article for you (I left the order of the sentences as they were in French so you can see how difficult the language can be):

Yesterday, 34 American students from the University of Indiana in Bloomington, aged from 17 to 18 years old, arrived in Brest.
Housed by French host families for six weeks, they will complete an intensive French language program in conversation, literature, grammar, and even in phonetics. The classes will be carried out by their four "guides", French professors, at the Maison pour tous de L'Harteloire.
The main rule, not a word of English.

Well... the journalist almost got it all right.

Here is the other article that from the other newspaper:

Here is a quick and of course always awful translation of the article:

It's the 16th consecutive year that a group of students from the University of Bloomington (Indiana) is staying in the ?Cité du Ponant?. During six weeks, thirty four students, accompanied by four professors, combine French classes (three hours a day at the MJC/MPT de l'Harteloire) with cultural tourism. The students are housed with French host families and the professors at the FJT de l'Aile on Michelet street.
During the reception at city hall, Christiane Migot, advisor to the Mayor, welcomed the group of students and host families. The director of the program, Marie-Line Brunet, professor of French in Bloomington, responded to her speech by wishing that this exchange will continue for a long time "because we're comfortable in Brest and that we are well welcomed." "When the students will return home, she continued, they'll be ambassadors of Brittany and make their friends want to come and see it for themselves."

Once again, sorry for the bad translations.
