My friend asked if I wanted to have coffee with our high school French teacher over break and I told her no. I haven’t taken French since my junior year and I know our teacher would try to speak French to me and I would be just as confused as I was when she tried to speak French to me in high school.
She would be like, “Bonjour Alexandre. Ca va?” And I’d go, “Uhh, je voudrais…au…toilette?” Because that was always my excuse to leave class. (Anything involving the bathroom).
But I actually do remember a lot of random phrases and words in French, which is kind of weird, because I never actually remembered them while I took French. I guess it just had a delayed reaction on me.
I also feel bad for not taking a foreign language anymore, which is why I want to learn sign language. I already know a few phrases.
Sign Language 101. I watched a lot of Full House when I was little.
I tried to interact with a deaf person once before, but I think my obvious mouthing of words and weak attempts at making hand signals really offended them.
It’s not my fault I wanted to tell them I had to go to the bathroom.
