    well my hobbies are learning foreign languages by whatching movies, travelling, and modelism, I guess I pick travelling.

    question now is how to make it entertaining. You know how french people get bored very quickly, like to boast ect... So I'm not sure a class with everybody talking about his travelling experience will make an interesting class.
    Anyway, I'll have to be the master of ceremony wich implies beeing the one talking all the time.

    You could have a wee chat about stereotyping and why it's never a good idea if you want people to take you seriously.

    Oh dear. I'm afraid that I do know what I'm talking about.

    Sterotyping is when a person assumes that all members of a particular race, religion or social group are the same based on limited interaction with a few members of said group. I'm assuming you haven't had the opportunity to speak with every French person in order to ascertain whether they are, indeed, prone to boastfulness or have short attention spans.

    You glibly stereotyped a nation, with hardly a second thought, and are exactly the sort of person I wouldn't want teaching my son.

    See, I'd like an open minded teacher who would have the intellect not to subscribe to ideals such as 'French people have short attention spans'.
