| Valérie: | Bonjour ! Êtes-vous Jacques ? |
| Jack: | Excuse me? |
| Valérie: | Hello, are you Jacques? |
| Jack: | Oh, right! Bonjour ! Oui, oui, je suis Jacques. |
| Valérie: | Très bien ! Please, come on in! It is very nice to meet you, and I’m glad that you want to learn French. |
| Jack: | Thank you, Valérie! |
| Valérie: | Well, let’s start our first lesson. |
| Jack: | Thank you so much for taking me as a student! |
| Valérie: | You are most welcome, Jacques! But, before we start, tell me a little about yourself. You have studied French before, right? |
| Jack: | In school, if it counts. I just remember a few words like “Bonjour, je m’appelle Jacques, s’il vous plaît, merci, au revoir. |
| Valérie: | Very good! |
| Jack: | But, I am very serious about studying. |
| Valérie: | Excellent! May I ask why you have decided to go back to studying French? I would like to know what your goals are so that I can successfully design a course for you. |
| Jack: | Sure! You see, I have this idea, it's a business idea, and I will need a good knowledge of French, and I may add French culture. |
| Valérie: | Oh! It's intriguing! What is that? Is that a secret? |
| Jack: | It’s a French restaurant! I want to open a French restaurant. |
| Valérie: | Ah bon ? ...Really? |
| Jack: | I have so many ideas about this restaurant, so it’s going to be great! But I really need to be able to speak French, and I need to know cultural nuances to design a great menu. |
| Valérie: | Well, good luck! Bonne chance ! |
| Jack: | Merci ! |
| Valérie: | Well, let’s not waste time. Let's start learning! |
