Alberto Learns French

I took a French language class way back in high school and the only French phrases I remember saying are: (1) écoutez, s'il vous plait meaning please listen (which I obviously did not) and (2) je ne parle pas français meaning I do not speak French (which unfortunately remained true even after the semester). So to pick up where I left off in my pitiful attempt to learn French, I have once again decided to take lessons. And this time around, I promise to écoutez whenever the teacher tells me.
