I just called the woman who owns the apartment I’m going to be renting in Paris. We’ve never spoken before. I was very excited to impress her with my French, so when she answered her mobile I began to speak. She immediately cut me off. “I hear your accent,” she said. “You can speak English.” Wah! I thought my French accent sounded exactly like Clotilde’s, the woman on my French Conversation CD. Clearly it needs work.

   Clotilde would never talk that way.
