Those poor foreign students! I can only imagine.

Like Baron Nucingen speaking broken Alsatian French in Balzac's "La Comédie humaine."

Here are ten great American novels that students should read; Moby Dick, the great American novel ever written, my favorite the ultimate struggle of good and evil; East of Eden; Catcher in the Rye, Huckleberry Finn; Scarlet Letter; Great Gatsby; Grapes of Wrath, Old Man and the Sea, Catch-22, To Kill a Mockingbird.

Some others are Gone with the Wind, On the Road, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, All the Kings Men, Red Badge of Courage.

Read and learn what was happening in America and how we were formed. The good, the bad and the ugly.

When Huck tries to say “Can you speak French?” in French to Jim, it is so mangled that they had put the correct French in brackets after Huck’s version.
