"Bonjour, madame. Comment vous appelez-vous? "
Je m'appelle... ."
I made it through French class. This conversation took me way back to my high school days in Madame Holder's class. My new instructor, Dr. Diallo or Madame Diallo as she prefers to be called, is very endearing and so far has made class enjoyable. No boring verb conjugation here, just rapid fire total immersion. I think I may become fluent in French yet!
The funniest thing in class however was during introductions. Madame Diallo passed from student to student assigning titles, "Monsieur... , Mademoiselle..., Mademoiselle..., Monsieur... ." When she gets to me, she politely, hesitantly says, "Mademoiselle... ." I politely say "Madame," and we all laugh. Shoot, I'm probably the same age as my professor and the same age as my fellow classmates' parents.
