I was the only boy in my French classes during my junior and senior years of high school. I was very frustrated when having to listen to my classmates read French - one - word - at - a - time - with no expression and/or feeling - just - one - meaningless - disconnected - word - at - time. It would finally be my turn to read, and I would read the lines with feeling - tie the words together with proper expression - to convey a message - to give it all meaning. I've taken great pleasure in being able to do this. #1 grandson can also do this, and has told me several times how frustrating it is to listen to his classmates try to read/translate - one -word - at - a - time - in an expressionless monotone.

When I took French in college my teacher (who looked exactly like Gerard Depardieu) said I spoke French with a Quebecois accent. I have no idea how that happened.

My Danish friends in Greenland in '78 said I spoke Danish with a Norwegian
accent.  We never understood how that came about, unless the study tape I
was using was recorded by a Norwegian.
