no espeake english!

i’m not sure what it is... but for the young francophone in english apprenticeship, there is a phrase they simply cannot keep themselves from yelling out at the least prompting: “hello, what is you[r] name?!”

it’s amazing how you’ll hear that being yelled out across the neighborhood once a group of kids recognizes you from a distance.

close friends are “hello, my name is!” and “do you speak english?”

you think they’d pick up something less mundane. you know, like “dondé está el baño?” or “tengo un gato en los pantalones de mi madre.” but then, what do i know?
