Ze French!

One more anecdote for the day.

In class we are discussing a few new verbs: those beginning with the "M" sound at the beginning.

Moreh (male teacher): Meetrahetz, 'to shower.' Add another "M" at the beginning of a verb such as cotev, which means 'to write.'
French kid: So, anachnu m'meetrachetz (we shower together)wrong verb, dipshit (probably meant to say meetpalel which means 'to pray,' although I'm really not so sure)
Moreh: Lo, anachnu m'meetrachetz (No, we do not shower together). Baruch hashem says under breath.

Still hacol beseder.
