I just saw that one of our intake forms at work asks learners to choose their learning style.😶 Again. Does anyone have a box they need to fill in for #OfficialLanguages? I. Just. Can’t. Anymore.

They joys of perfecting a second language: Someone just sent an e-mail about a "conflit d'horaire". I didn't see the "L" and thought, "Oh, God, what's a confit d'horaire? Another piece of slang I'll have to master, so that I don't stick out?" #CoffeePlease #OL #OfficialLanguages
