The Name of the Class

"I heard you speak French!" one of my students exclaimed as she entered the room this morning.

"Oui," I replied, "c'est vrai."

"Huh?" she wrinkled her nose.

"Je parle un peu français," I continued slowly.

"What?!" she asked in return.

"I know you take French," I said. "What do you know how to say?"

"Je suis present!" she recited.

"Très bien!" I applauded.

"Heh?" She shook her head and threw up her hands.

I laughed. "Let's stick to English, for a while," I said.
