My best teacher was my French teacher Derek Swift. What stuck out (zaujmout) instantly was that he was unconventional - the type of teacher you didn't expected to see in a school like ours in the south. He was a Northerner with a strong northern accent. One of his responsibilities was looking after the school library. I read such things as Pushkin's love poems and it was inspiring stuff. He taught us Russian in his spare time. He was a genius at languages / he spoke about 10 or 12. Mr Swift was also different from every others teacher. There was always a twinkle (veselý, šelmovský záblesk) in his eye and he had a sense of humour. He used to put his feet on the desk and covered the blackboard with words during his lessons. You can tell how good he was because there were 24 in our class and in the French exam 21 got top grades.

Are you going to learn any others languages?
