Title: Getting French People to Talk to You in French
Body:
Géraldine Lepère writes, “French people being rude to French learners is a classic misconception about France, that’s often due to cultural misunderstandings, common clichés or bad luck. Sometimes, it’s a combination of the three.
“However, it’s a very frustrating experience for enthusiastic French learners who want to practice their skills in Paris and end up being answered back in English, corrected or plainly ignored by Parisians. Francophiles end up disappointed, embarrassed and give up on trying to speak French.”

Title: Authentic Spanish Question Game: El Repollo
Body:
From http://www.spanishplayground.net/
Here is an authentic game from Nicaragua in which students pass around a ball of wadded up papers. Each paper has a question written on it, encased in another paper with another question written on it, and so on. When the teacher makes a noise, whoever is holding the “cabbage” at that time peels the outer paper off and answers the question.
