French lessons are going great! I know how to ask a French guy for his télephone numéro, and can take down his number with ease. Soon, I will be able to propose, and also ask if he’s rich.
I. am. joking.
Pascal (moi Français professeur) said something which tickled some of us pretty much today. “Some French don’t even know basic Singlish!” he wailed.
So, being the-bored-me-with-tons-of-projects-but-no-mood-to-do-them, here goes:
Welcome to Singlish 101
