In a recent interview with a French
woman in Paris who has taught French
to Americans and other foreigners for
many years, she said in response to a
question concerning the difficulty or
teaching the right pronunciation Of the
language:
"They all have the same trouble !;
they make the same mistakes. One OF
my pupils wrote ME some time age that
her daughter was coming to me In
Paris, having spent a year in French
school in Switzerland. The mother
called upon me and remarked that her
daughter would doubtless have bet
ter accent than most Of my young
American pupils. oh no. l replied,

accent will be exactly like that Of every
other American You see | know, /
