AnOther Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 [quote user="Frenchie"]But coughing away is not very sexy is it ??

I'm struggling how to put this delicately but can only think of one word - contractions - or perhaps if I mentioned Belly Dancers........[:$] [6] [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Got it now !! LOL when I talk, can't sing..At some moments I can talk ( with a very husky " broken" voice) , then suddenly I can only whisper.. I think my voice needs a rest.. But what s funny is that when u whisper, people whisper back !! [:D][:D][:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odile Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Coucou Frenchie - glad to hear you had a really good time at St Sylvestre! sorry about the sore throat, cough, etc.... And interesting news about He from Derbyshire. Very pretty Derbyshire, and not far from moi!Grave concern about medical practice in France though. Steroids are very dangerous drugs and should really not be given for a cold- unless you have a history of severe ashtma! does your GP really gives you steroids every time????Bonne Annee et bonne chance avec Mr. I.

Frenchie Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Coucou Odile ! Glad to se you back online !Yes, good festive period, good start to the year but my health is so so ...Yes, cortisone is what doctors ( not only mine) give to patients who have a " tracheo laryngite " and have lost their voice.......Thanks for the wishes to Ian and I .. He's so worried about my health, I told him it was not so severe !! [:)]My best wishes to you too, bonne année !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You could try this renchie? http://www.takeabenylinday.co.uk/The add vert has caused a bit of a stir apparently. Advising people to stay at home? http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/jan/07/benylin-advert .My favorit for when I'm bad is 1/2 bottle of brandy twice a day till it's gone. It doesn't help the cold/flu/etc, but you just don't care!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odile Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 REST it - it's the only way - so try to plan your lessons on worksheets, book stuff, listening activities,tapes, videos, /DVDs. Last year I had Italian lesson at a school with an interactive white board- that would be fantastic for a teacher with a lost voice! Bonne chance.

Jonzjob Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 You don't need a voice anyway Frenchie. YOU CAN SHOUT or you can whisper with your keyboard [6]!I knew a fishermans friend once.
