Language Lapse

OMG! One TWIST reader tries to impress a pair of fine foreigners!

We had two foreign exchange students from France, Xavier and Jean-Francois, in our class for three weeks. They were both way cute and had the most adorable accents! Unfortunately, I was totally flunking French, and they hardly spoke any English. I decided to try really hard to improve my French so that I could talk to them. After three weeks, and hours and hours of memorizing my French textbook, I was finally ready to talk to these international cuties! I went up to them and asked if they wanted to get ice cream with me and my friends after school. They both gave me a weird look and started laughing hysterically. It turns out, I didn't do such a great job catching up on my French. I later found out that what I actually said was, "do you like to eat sour cream with me and my friends behind the school?" I was so embarrassed! From now on I'm sticking to American boys! -Stephanie, 14

OMJ!!! 1st comment!! anyway that wouldn't really embarass me. I would have figured out how 2 say EXACTLY what I wanted to ask them and then memorize it and the say it to them. That is really funny though. At least you didn't call them fish, they are clearly not a fish. (inside joke with me and my friends) anyway hope you find someone who speaks english!

By the way, OMJ means "Oh Micheal Jackson"

Thanks Dora. That really helps now. LOL

JK JK!!! I'm a different Stephanie. I wanted to freak out that Dora the Explorer chick.

Lol that is pretty funny. I remember once in my school we had foreign exchange students from Germany come. I had two germans in my spanish class. Talk about mixed languages.
They spoke to each other in german and I always wonder, are they making fun of everyone in our school? they were always laughing lol.
