NO-ONE IS ANSWERING THEIR PHONES!
Please.
Someone just give me a number I can call as a one-off.

I'd just like to talk for a few minutes.

Yours needily,
Fridae

Never read Tintin and you studied Frentch?

Yeah, I don't know. My teachers must have wanted us to be at a level above, like, comics.

Yeah, srsly. Why is that so weird? We had to converse and stuff.

That's like "Dude, you totally studied Spanish and you never watched Dora the Explorer? Srsly?"

Hmm...it's cultural? I know Tin Tin. I would use comics in a language class. Infinite Monkey, did you learn French in college? Perhaps that's the reason why you weren't introduced to French comics. Come to think of it, I can't recall where I was introduced to Tin Tin.

Also, they didn't have Dora the Explora when I was in school. They barely even had written language back then, but they did have Tin Tin translated into Spanish.

Now are you oh so worldly ones done trying to point out my cultural ineptitude, or is Dudley Do-right on? I want to learn more about (aboot, I think?) Canadian culture.

TinTin is Belgian anyway.
But in Foot's defence it was often used as a way to encourage children in grammer, because they absorbed it naturally while following the action in the pictures.

not BST?

is it 23:05 now? or 22:05? by the clock you are using. I'm all confused. It's 6 here so it's 11 there, I know that. But I see you still online!

Well, perhaps by high school and college, they didn't think we needed little pictures.

Remember, this is America...we don't learn languages until your college-bound curriculum forces you to.

And quit being all smarty-pants culture man, foot. Grrrrrrrrrrr. I know a couple things. Or two.
