Brandon listened intently as the female classmate read aloud from the German text book with impecable pronunciation. He and a third classmate had been grouped with this apparent perfectionist to read the passage aloud and work on translation. The perfectionist was apparently the only who knew what was going on.
As the classmate finished reading the paragraph, she looked up from the book and made the most astonishing of proclamations. "I think German is my new favorite foreign language," said the female classmate.
"Oh," said Brandon, feining interest yet hoping that this noncommital response would not lead to a conversation.
Truthfully, Brandon was left a little puzzled as to how anyone could have a "favorite foreign language," let alone a "new favorite foreign language." It must be an innate quaility some poses from birth.

I have to agree. I myself am not quite sure how anyone could have a favorite foreign language. I can barely speak English.
You guys are crazy. We all have favorite shoes, favorite shirts, favorite bands, favorite everything, so it's conceivable to have a favorite foreign language.
