Yesterday, I had my first classes that didn't go so well. They were a group of gentlmen who really, really did not understand a single word I said. I must admit it was a little discouraging, and it made for a long hour!
Fortunately, today went much better as my class was very responsive and it was a good time again! Today, they gave me all their nicknames...some were perhaps better left to themselves...I don't think they realized certain terms were nearly the same in English.
There is a foreign exchange student here from Arizona, and I have heard that she is very discouraged because she barely speaks any French. I had a class with her the other day, so it was nice to have a default person who could speak when the rest of the class didn't understand something, and I think she appreciated having an American around, too!
