Summary: Victor's accent needs work.
Author's Note: My appologies if the French is wrong. I don't speak a word of it, and used a translator for this story.
“Your accent needs work.”
Victor let out a little squeak and almost dropped his textbook. A flush quickly rose to his cheeks as Mr. Beaubier quirked an eyebrow. “Ah. Sorry. Didn’t think anyone would hear me out here.” He closed the book and rose to his feet. “I’ll just-”
“Sit back down, Victor.” Mr. Beaubier said. “Who’s teaching that class, anyway?”
“Ah… Mr. LeBeau, sir,” Victor said, sinking back into his seat.
Mr. Beaubier snorted. “Him? His accent is atrocious. You’ll only make a fool of yourself if you try to learn from him.” He lifted his chin haughtily. “As your mentor, I cannot allow that. Open your book. Lets see if we can’t salvage something from your lessons.”

“Monsieur Borkowski, pouvez-vous répondre à la question?”
“Oui, Monsieur LeBeau. Napoléon Bonaparte était un général pendant la révolution française, le gouverneur de la France en tant que d'abord consul de la République française à partir du 11 novembre 1799 au 18 mai 1804, empereur du Français sous le nom de Napoléon I à partir du 18 mai 1804 au 6 avril 1814, et a été brièvement reconstitué comme empereur à partir du 20 mars à 22 juin 1815. Il était également roi de l'Italie, médiateur de la Confédération helvétique et protecteur de la confédération du Rhin.”
“Très bon, Victor.”
“Merci, monsieur.”
