Day 9: Thanks to Google translate...

I got a very nice request to rent one of my rooms, written in French, since "you seem to speak french extremely well" (referring to the french version of my listing). Eh, well, or I'm extremely good at using Google translate... 

Dear Maria, I take the liberty to write to you in french seeing that you seem to speak this language extremely well.

But yeah, the whole idea of having a description in french is to get more french speaking people here to give me an opportunity to practice. And responding to the request gave me a good reason to try writing in french. This time I even did it without Google translate.

At the moment I have reservations from five people, from the US, Finland, Spain, Germany and Switzerland. I'm really looking forward to meeting them all!
