I knew a guy who was a French teacher assigned to teach Spanish.
He was taking Spanish at night at the second-year level to try to keep ahead of his students who were beginners. He was a quick study, and he knew French and Latin quite well, so he was doing pretty well.
But, still. You’d think you could find plenty of teachers who actually speak Spanish. He was a good guy, though. I liked him.
When I attended public high school in the early 70s, all my French teachers were so excellent that I even began to use phonetics to sound out unknown words in French. When I first traveled to Europe, it was I who read all the menus and all the road signs for my family. How sad for these kids today. French is a wonderful language.
The Teachers Union. Gotta love it. No on prop 123 in AZ BTW!
Press one for English!!!

So he’s using the Bernardo de la Paz method?
