I went to France.

I looked for a job.

I couldn’t find a job.

I went to another city.

I looked for a job again.

I found a job.

I found a job in a restaurant.

I washed dishes.

My salary was very low.

My work was hard.

I studied French.

It was really difficult.

I learned to speak a little.

Australian: What language do they speak in Jersey?
Scotsman: English.
Australian: But like they don’t speak French?
Scotsman: Jersey patois occasionally.
Australian: What is that?
Scotsman: A cross between French and English.
Australian: Like, can French people understand it, do you know?
Scotsman: No. English people cannot understand it either. It is indigenous to Jersey. I think they can pretty much get a gauge of it, but…
Australian: It is a mixture of French and English?
Scotsman: Yeah. That is good coming from a Scotsman, isn’t it?
Australian: What is the capital of Jersey?
Scotsman: St Helier.
