swittle May 2021 4:16pm, 22 May 2021 75,653 posts	Quote Pin swittle Pete D--- was a teacher who increased my confidence in learning foreign languages. We viewed endless Tavor [?] slides with accompanying dialogue but most dreaded it when 'Snarling Pierre', as he was nicknamed, started a lesson with the word, 'Dictée.' That was my favourite activity!

Surrey Phil May 2021 9:02pm, 22 May 2021 6,405 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil My French teacher had a snobby arrogance about her and wore several layers of make-up. She also insisted on calling everyone by their French-sounding name, so I became Philippe for five years.
MarkyMarkMark (3M) May 2021 9:33pm, 22 May 2021 15,238 posts	Quote Pin MarkyMarkMark (3M) Loads of teachers assumed i was "Marc" rather than "Mark". Not just the French one. I never did figure out why. That's the teachers who didn't call me by my surname anyway!

Rosehip May 2021 1:15pm, 23 May 2021 21,198 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip We had Latin names in classics, I was Calpurnia. I don't think we did the same in French. Latin lessons stand out in my memory, French class doesn't.
