I respect the one who did the French accent more
The perfect Parisian French is just speaking English because they will not even attempt to work with less than natural French
I took one year of French my tenth grade year, but the teacher was a bitch. I remember my friend doing an oral exam, and she absolutely failed it (she did not attempt any silent endings, and she pronounced everything as if it were English). I tried to do my best not to laugh. I also had a friend who was from Africa and spoke French as a second language (her first language was an African language that I do not remember). The French teacher tried to accuse her of cheating because she knew words that the teacher had not taught (which does not make any sense as it was an oral exam and I do not understand how you cheat in that).
Then, I took Spanish in eleventh and twelfth grade, and German in twelfth grade. Both of those teachers were nice which is why I transferred. Also, Spanish II was more about the culture and less about the language which is why I did that and German my last year.
That girl had more balls than any Frenchman.
I can relate, as I wanted to learn German in school, but the only option available was French, which honestly made me dislike the language.
I did this for my GCSE German and based my pronunciation on a slightly camp Adrian Edmondson as the Baron von Richthofen. I got a B, so it must have worked.
The French do the same when they don’t know an english Word.
They would just say the French Word but with an english accent.
I’d say OOP is on point !
Lmao when I started taking Spanish in high school I would mix French into it and my prof would get so pissed 😂
And then Mrs Hazel proceeds to freak at every elderly immigrant who couldn’t learn her language.
Kids used to tease me. They’d say, “Your mother looks like Hazel!”
This suggests more of a failure of the teacher than the students
“Leesten vairy carefully, I zhall say zis ernly twice.”
Fake it until you can’t make it.
“well it worked in ‘Allo ‘Allo” – that girl, probably
I remember when I did a French exam. I had two teachers congratulate me for how well I did, I was the best in my class and what not. I was just thinking “Holy shit how bad is everyone else?”
This brings back painful memories of Grade 10 Japanese in Australia. I did pretty good in grade 8/9 and then just lost interest. Our exams were written answers in Kanji but I didn’t know how to use it for all the answers so ended up with some weird Kanji, Hirogana and English hybrid to fill in the gaps.
Omg .. I can’t stop laughing!
