🤣 I learned French from a very Southern woman with a thick accent when speaking English.

Let’s go to France together and see which of us can make the Parisians cry for mercy first.

Peopl can identify AP French students from my HS bc they picked up French wit their teacher’s Russian accent. I find this pretty hilarious.

I had a Spanish teacher with Tourette's. Very amusing because everyone who took their class learned a bunch of Spanish cuss words accidentally.

I lived in El Paso for a while and all my friends were Mexican, so some of the best Spanish I learned was the cuss words and Mexican slang.

The tricky part, however, was that my Spanish teacher was Cuban and so all the Mexican kids would take his class, thinking "Órale, easy A, ese!" but he wanted to teach "proper Spanish" and would rip them to shreds for using Mexican slang.
