for those who do not, that's exactly what we're here for.
hello! if they all speak with a perfect RP accent, we'll be out of jobs?
though it's still cute hearing them muting the "H" in inappropriate places.
they try hard though.
i liked how my maîtresse came to tell me it's time to "heat"...which isn't entirely wrong come to think about it.
we do bring our own lunch to work and then microwave it before eating.
i liked how amy becomes "hammy".
i liked how kids raised their "ands" up in classes.
and my favourite part has to be the "allo" song.
it went on and on and on and sounded like "allo, allo, allo, owl are you?"
which reminds me of this.

anyways, we received 3 groups of non-french speaking visitors at our school today.
they were here on an exchange programme for some serious pedagogical business.
being the only one (out of 6) who doesn't have anything better to do, i was appointed to help out.
the first group arrived when i was busy working with raising "ands" and ben is between scott "hand" "the" marion...
so i was only able to help out the other two.
the bell rang, and the english lady asked questions.
and then after a couple of questions answered, she walked up to me, "you speak very good english."
"but i work here as an english teacher."
it was such a hilarious moment, but also very flattering.
she thinks i can pass as a french after hearing me explain what is what to the inspector (who clearly is french, hence speaks franglais).
i don't want to be stereotyping, but i do like their accent.
at least they sound so cute when they sing the allo song.
okay, maybe a tiny bit discouraging after a whole week of repetition and correction of "hello, how are you".
