Just another Manic Monday. Ok I'll stop with the Bangles
lyrics. Monday, it was Monday. I woke up for lunch, as you recall I hate
mornings, and idled away my time in the library. I had class at 5:30pm with M.
Martel which, as it normally is, was very pleasant and funny. I learned a very
useful phrase, Ça craint! It means, this sucks! The best part of the phrase was
when M. Martel was trying to say it in English. It came out more as "zhis
souks" which made Paula and me laugh. I know that to the French I sound
"cute" and "adorable" when I speak their language, but they
just sound silly when they try English. Least American English. I have know
some French who picked up British accents, now the Brits claim otherwise, that
sound rather accurate. However, the American accent is simply impossible for
them unless they have an ear for mimicking phonetics, which less than 1% them
possess. Don't have me wrong, M. Martel is awesome, it's just funny when he
speaks English.
