Your French teacher was better than mine. She’d roll her cart into the classroom speaking gibberish (My friend spoke fluent French. He couldn’t understand a word she said) and then she’d throw Telefrancais on as if that’s acceptable for teaching 8th grade French. Then give us worksheets in French with no explanation or teaching of the material, and sending us to the office if we tried to use a phone to translate them.

Her nonsense put my French learning behind, and made it all the more difficult in high school. Thanks Ms. Benaquista.
