Linguistic gemAs the head of a modern languages department in a further education college, it often falls to me to field enquiries about our courses from members of the public. Cue the following conversation:
Twunt: "I'd like to find out about intensive Spanish courses"
Me: "Have you done Spanish before?"
Twunt: "No, but I need an intensive course. My company is sending me to the Dominican Republic in six weeks so I need to be fluent by then."
Fortunately it was a telephone conversation as there was no way I could keep a straight face.
