So, I haven't spoken much french over the last 35-40 years but I like to pride myself in trying to stay somewhat fluent and conversational in my mother tongue. Tonight at a local restaurant in Rimouski, where english is slightly behind Uzbechi as a second language, I was doing my best to "fit" in and speaking what I thought was fairly reasonable francais. Then, as I was settling my bill, the 20 year old blonde waitress said, "Wood you lack too leeve a teep?".
I need lessons.
