My first experience with the French language was when we had a teacher from Togo come to my school in Nigeria and teach us a little bit of French. Togo is a neighbor of Nigeria’s and while Nigeria is an English speaking country, Togo is French. I fell in love. I cannot even remember what we learned now, but I still remember the feeling of love at hearing the first beautiful lyrical sounds of French.
