I don't speak French but this made me remember my one semester, a godawful boring semester, of high school French, with a kooky teacher who used to talk to the empty desk of absent students ("alors, Jacques, tu e malade aujourdui?", etc.)
The reason for my rather loose association here is that we used a book that made you repeat and repeat these quirky little dialogues (forgive my spelling):
1st lesson:
-Christine e la?
-Non, dans la piscine.That is all I remember of that one. The others, I remember more of, freaky tho that may be (this is 25 years ago):
-Christine, ou e tu?
-dans la cuisine, pourquois?
-voulez vouz ver "Rondevouz a Berlin?"
-eh, non, j'naime pas les film de guerre!
-Mais, non! C'est un film d'espionage!and:
-Michel, Anne, vous travaillaise?
-Non, nous regardon la television.
-Les Duponts arrive dans un heur.
-S'il te plais, maman, encore cinque minutes!and, the first line of another lesson, set in a boys' boarding school:
-Quesque c'est? Du la viand u du la soupe?
Ok, isn't it quirky how the brain can store and retrieve this kind of thing ?
