Genuine compliments

The other day in our French class, there came a young student - perhaps around 13-14 years old to do observation of class. He was a poor little French boy feeling extremely conscious among a group of middle aged women who are struggling to learn French which is his mother tongue. He had to introduce himself to us and then had to listen to our introduction. He has just come from France to HK, which implied he is not used to hearing adulterated French.

We could see his struggle to understand what we were saying as our introduction :) He kept quiet or nodding his understanding when he did. I got the biggest compliment when after my introduction he smiled and said,'Vous parlez tres bien.' Yippee!
