Halley is talking about French speakers and beaches and stuff.  It brought back memories of my high school French class days.  My favorite year was when had Ms. Szabo and focused on conversational French.  Ms. Szabo collected grenouilles just like my older daughter used to do.  Her favorite was a grenoui in the bottom of her coffee cup.  My classmate Brad Kobitter and I would make every effort that year to speak exclusively in French whenever we were together.  We would speak French during lunch,  study hall, whenever we saw each other walking down the halls.  We didn't really know enough French to be able to do it correctly so we had a fair amount of Franglais thrown in with our French.  I can hardly remember any of my French, high school was a long time ago for me.  I still remember one of my favorite nonsense phrases though, "Le cochon tombe sur la plage." 1:04:25 PM
