Oh this is such a sweet and entertaining column.
It reminds me my time in Geneva working four years at a French bank branch, also attending some classes and reading Petit Prince book. The life in Geneva was oh la la… and a co-worker kept insisting that I get myself “un copain” which is the best way to succeed in French. I have fond memories especially the restaurants and their “bonne cuisine”.
I also lived in London for 7 months where I had a native bf but who spoke more Cogney than Queens English.
The Angloschool had all kind of foreign students, some were beginners and it was a hands and feet communication, lol. - I miss such study times and would love to study in Korea for a month or two!!
Btw I know several couples who fit this article or have two different language or cultural background.
Merci for sharing this article, written so humorously
