"You Speak Like Tarzan"

"You speak like Tarzan" said Stephan, our French teacher.  I almost left class I was laughing so hard.
French is challenging and he speaks so fast.  Example, he recites a series of phone numbers and we
all suppose to write them down!  Where does one number begin and end, its like one long French
run on sentence.

I've decided the only way I can keep my studies to a minimum and travel through Europe doing
what I want, and getting what I want, it only requires four elements.
1. Charades -Do anything to get your point across, I wiped out my ATM card and made the motions
of putting it in an ATM, it so worked.
2. Be Aerobic -Jump, lunge, point.  If it doesn't get the point across it counts for exercise.
3. Always use your hands.  Its great for tall, small, swim, sky, etc.  When I order a mussel pizza in
error (I am allergic to mussels) when it arrived I pretended to choke myself, the waiter understood
the bazaar acting American, took it away and gave me the menu again.
4. Use sound effects.  I needed to buy shaving cream for Tyler in Chamonix, the clerk showed
me razors, I made the correct foaming sound, using my hands to apply the invisable shaving
cream and viola.
Always Always overly thank anyone.
