My beautiful Harvard educated friend and former French instructor is helping me learn French. She was telling me tu, vous, and then she was explaining to me a large group. I tell her that’s “All Y’all”. I laughed out loud when she repeated what I said. She almost sounded crass, this beautiful lady. I told her she sounded Texan. No, she told me, she sounded American.
I still giggle thinking about our interaction. She has her hands full, to be sure. I find myself feeling like a bashful child wanting to please her.
The French accent is just not happening. Yet.
