Be lucky we have both block break and Thanksgiving in this wonderful month of November!

Ugh, lucky - an art class? I'm in French, so I'm trying to reach 5k a day and learn a different language... So far, it's been an interesting month!

So, use the French words you need to master in your story. Work them ever so cleverly into your plot, explain them... they'll live on in infamy or famously, whichever.... But YOUR FRENCH will improve right along with the word count. The more memorable you make the story, the easier the words will stick. Enlist your study buddies in helping you dream up the weird contortions your fiction will need to take. Introduce a French speaking character. Give him/her bits of appropriate dialog. Have other characters mistake what they think they are saying.
(One real life French exchange student I knew announced to her astonished date as they danced, "This is very embracing." (embarrassing... close, but no cigar, as the saying goes.) If you need extra credit, try to turn in the result to the French teacher.... :-) assuming a sense of humor...
