I (as best as I understand) put myself on a waiting list online to take a cooking class as Lenotre. I received this email this morning. I think I know what it says but i don't want to be wrong about someing like this!
quote:

Je vous contacte suite à une réservation faite sur internet pour le cours de « Les croissants et Pains au chocolat » pour le mardi 18 mars matin. Vous êtes actuellement en liste d’attente. J’ai une place à vous proposer. Cela vous intéresse-t-il toujours. Merci de me le confirmer rapidement afin que je valide cette réservation.

Here's my take: She's contacting me about the internet reservation I made for the class on Tuesday March 18. I am actually on the list to attend.She has placed me on a wish list. If I am still interested I am to quickly confirm that I want this reservation.

Do I have it about right?

Merci!!

My French is rudimentary at best, Dana, but I think that's what this says. If I were you, I'd "confirmer rapidement" before they give your spot to someone else!

Les croissants et Pains au chocolat -- yum!

Actuellement, in fact, means presently or currently. So my take is that you are registered for the class, Dana. And I think that the bit about "J'ai une place a vous proposer" basically means, I have a place for you in the class you asked about.

Either way, yes, confirm!

You are right David, she has an available place for T-Mac.

You were on the waiting list, a spot opened up, she's asking you to confirm you still want to attend.

Of course. Thanks David. Somehow I missed that "liste d'attente" = waiting list.
