He sat for a while investigating the book. He flipped through it for about 5 minutes. I asked what he thought of me trying to learn french from him. "Didnt you take it in school?" He asked. I explained I did, but I wanted to know how he said things. He smiled. I explained I wanted to come down to his house every week and try to do some of the exercises in the book with him. He smiled bigger. I don't think it connected until then that the book was to help us work together. He said he would be excited, and his wife chimed in that she would love to join too.
