French 101, Period 5 Class 1 [1-10]
Jean-Paul sat behind his desk, watching as the students filed in and wearing a slightly evil smirk on his face. Once they were all seated, he began speaking.
In French.
"Bonjour, et accueille à français 101. Je suis Professeur Beaubier." Then he switched back to English. "You probably could get the gist of that, I suspect. Now. I am Quebecois, from Montreal. This means that while I am from Canada, French is my native language, though I speak a somewhat different dialect than you might hear on the streets of Paris. The swears are different, for one thing. I know it is not usually the done thing in an academic class, but you will be learning those later, as I find them unendingly useful. Your syllabus will be ready next week; this week I have been dealing with a...situation." Also known as a sudden caramel addiction, but try getting him to admit that under torture. "This week, we are going to participate in an activity I am sure you are all quite thoroughly sick of: introductions. Name, where you are from, why you want to study French, and any experience with the language you might already have. We will start with you," he said, pointing to a student at random.
