This diverse student population, in addition to my work experiences and studies, has taught me a lot about working with both monolingual and multilingual classes.

I doubt I even knew anything about the country itself. I think I assumed learning French would make me sound smarter but, the joke's on younger me, I have no skill in French and never have.
