Functional French, Tuesday, Period 2

Class had been directed to meet in the danger shop today, and the shop itself was set up to resemble the main hall of a large, contemporary train station.

"Bonjour," Henry said once the group was assembled, shouting a bit to be heard over the noise of trains and NPC bustle. "Welcome to the Gare Saint Lazare. Here, have a vocabulary sheet. Your goal today is to find out a few things -- you want to find the next train to Le Havre and buy a ticket for it, and you want to find out where the nearest Métro station is and how to get there. The room's been programmed so the simulated people will only speak French at you, but they will speak slowly and repeat themselves until you get it." Unlike real people in an urban train station anywhere, but this was only the second week of class.

"Once you've done that -- get a snack, get a magazine, people-watch. I'm here if you need me."

And then he sank onto a bench from which he could keep an eye on all six students.
