My French Student

Well, she's not my student, technically, and she's not from France (she didn't even study in France) but anyways... this is Leimi. She was at Okisho when I first started here, but then soon went off to Belgium for a year to study French. When she came back, would you know it, she was FLUENT. So now whenever we see each other, we make sure we speak almost exclusively in French - since we're both worried about losing the language, and we don't have much more than just each other with whom to converse "en français." So it's awesome - Leimi, il faut qu'on continue à se parler en français, n'est-ce-pas?

僕の沖尚には、ベルギーから帰ってきた生徒がいます。玲美ちゃんは、何とわずかな一年間でフランス語を勉強して、かなり上手に話せるようになった。残念ながら僕の2年5組に所属していないけれど、廊下で会う度に必ずフランス語でおしゃべりをしている。お互い、今まで習得したフランス語能力がなくならないように頑張ってます!玲美、これからも英語でもなく日本語でもなくて、フランス語会話で頑張ろうね!どんなに変な目で見られても!
