Me Talk Pretty One Day- This article made me dislike French teachers and honestly made me feel as though I didn't really want to take French because of the way they teach. Walking into a class when you don't know anyone and don't know what to expect is pretty uncomfortable, along with walking into that class when you're older than everyone else. Being uncomfortable with the language you are learning when everyone else in that class can speak and translate better than you just isn't the right way to go in my opinion. I'd feel too awkward and I'd honestly probably drop the class if it turned to it. David walked into an incredibly awkward situation with a teacher who was very rude and disrespectful. Despite all this he managed to stick with it. David put his fears behind him and went after something he wanted, even though there were so many obstacles in his way. The teacher had an interesting way of teaching that would make the most elite of French students want to quit. She noticed every mistake you made, she would humiliate you in front of the whole class, and she would make you feel like you were nothing and that you would never learn the language. David knew that after weeks of this going on he was beginning to understand the language in a way he never had. He put more work into his class then ever before and he really began to see his improvement. Although teachers like this shouldn't exist, it did push him to become a better student, even if his driving motivation was not wanting to be embarrassed in front of his class. I love this a lot about how what he went through with his teacher pushed him so much, but I at that point, would definitely not want to be in that class again. I'm the type of person that hates being embarrassed beyond anything. I turn red and I get really hot, it starts to feel like I have a headache and at that point I just want to explode. Being humiliated in front of an entire class by the one person that's there to help you learn and grow, would push me over the edge. I wouldn't be able to go through with it. I'm proud that David could really push himself, I wish I had that motivation and self encouragement. Maybe someday I will.
