Hoy, estudiamos la grammatica de francés. Para aprender lenguas, es muy importante conocer bien su misma lengua, entonces revisamos el subjunctivo y el condicional de francés antes de estudiar esos tiempos en español. Correct me, lurking Spanish speakers. I know you're there. If you let me prattle along in bad Spanish, I will always sound like an evil baby. Please help me learn to talk like a hillbilly instead....

This whole Random Poetry dealie sounds like someone who hasn't quite mastered the English language and reminds me of David Sedaris' Me Talk Pretty One Day, when he is learning French. "He nice, the Jesus. He die and be put on two pieces of wood then he go to live in the sky with your father." <-- paraphrase...
