"Êtes-vous.... BAISE!" he clamped his hand over his mouth.

Mother had spoken French and I spoke it flently.

"Vous parlez français? Est-ce que c'est pourquoi vous parlez jamais?"

He gave me a quizzical look and then nodded..

"Êtes-vous?" He asked me again if I was alright.

"Oui." I looked at him and smiled. "Pouvez-vous parler beaucoup anglais?"

He shook his head, indicating that he didn't speak a lot of English.

"Veuillez ne pas dire n'importe qui. Je n'aime pas être payed l'attenchion à, et si le knewi de personnes était la France, elles posent un bon nombre de questions..."

"Oui." I promised not to tell anyone of this. he seemed honestly scared of what would happen if people knew he was French. "Au cas où je vous enseigner à parler anglais, vous emballe jamais le besoin de le savoir?"

He nodded his head vigorously at my offer to teach him English. "OUI! OUI!"

It's a plan.
