Joseph X french/french learning!reader
Because I speak it fluently and it’s fun (send help)
- To those learning French. French is essentially oral Scrabble. To those speaking French. ON EST D'ACCORD NON?? Joseph seems offended by this comparison, but deep down… He agrees.
- You often speak French, on a daily basis. Like, common conversations like where is my chaussette
- (The last sentence is on purpose and I am wheezing it means “where’s my sock”)
- You decided it’s fun to mix languages for new cussing. Though he usually keeps a straight face, he snorted at “what the merde” and now uses it on a daily basis.
- No one notices he actually picked it up from you and didn’t come up w it himself.
- Not even Mary.
- *despairful Joseph noises* “whaT THE MERdE”
- If you’re only learning French, he’ll encourage you speaking with him in French
- You’ll often exchange secrets in french when around other hunters…….
- …… That is until Mary arrives and he has to remind you she’s french.
- She’s amused, but decided to join in into your conversation like nothing happened
- Joseph doesn’t seem to approve cuz he feels like it was your little something, like a small special connection,,, but he can’t do anything about it, can he?
- It’s only when you start learning it you realise it’s not hot unless you’re a masochist, because the amount of rules, the amount of exceptions for each rule, the amount of unnecessary stylistics and letters you never pronounce…. - sincerely, a french person.
- If you’re learning it, he might start reading you La Fontaine, saying that “A language is learnt best when it’s learnt the way a kid learns it.” (la fontaine basically wrote small stories for kids from the POV of animals, I think there’s a word for these in English)
- He’ll try and get you to move to more difficult litterature later on))
- Mary keeps talking to you in short sentences, casually chatting with you every now and then
