Favourite Frenches.

It's very hard to like French people. Not because I'm not willing to like them (believe me, I'm trying my hardest to like them) but because they are just so hostile/rude/all about the staring. Anyway, at present, I have 3 favourite Frenches. That is to say, 3 Frenches that I like.

Candidat #1: The man who does my history lectures. This man is a true historian. I'm talking flailing arms, raising and then lowering his tone of voice, doing funny voices. Seriously, the man is a legend. Plus, he's quite helpful to me, when I bother to turn up to his TDs. And, when I asked where I needed to "inscrire", he was like "I'll show you! He won't be there, but most people have trouble finding it!" And, he knows of Leeds and Lancast-air. All is well.

Candidate #2: The woman who does the English theme class. Theme is basically French-English translation. It's great. And the woman is helpful. And speaks to us in English. She is helpful. Oh, I mentioned that already. Well, she is.

Cadidate #3: The woman who does my Cirefe class. The écrit class. Not oral. I knew from the start that she was a good egg. She was very helpful, and looked a bit like Prof. Trelawney from Harry Potter. Don't let that put you off, 'cos she's still a jolly nice lady. I emailed her asking if we could move our test, cos I wanted to go home. Then sent another one saying that I wasn't going home after all, cos it was too much fuss. She replied lamenting my inability to go home, and wished me a "tres bonne journée". I rarely get a "bonne journée", let alone a "tres bonne journée". So I was most content. Based on that, I think she is my favourite French.
