Ooh, La La!
(We are in a French lesson, discussing language to use when asking for a hotel room.)
Teacher: “Remember to say, ‘soirs,’ when you’re asking for the number of nights. All right, then, [Student], could you please stand up?”
([Student] stands up.)
Teacher: “And could you please say in French, ‘I would like a hotel room for two nights.'”
Student: “Je voudrais… un chambre… avec deux soeurs?”
(This actually means, ‘I would like a hotel room with two sisters’.)
Teacher: “Well, that would be a very good night indeed!”
