Today, I was assigned to fill in for a French teacher who was out sick. I had asked the class to name some French-speaking countries. I called on one girl and she replied, "Uh, Europe. That's, like, the only other one, right?" Nobody disagreed. I'm filling in for the rest of the month. FML

Belgium, Luxembourg, Monaco, and a whole lot of African countries. And those are only the ones where it's official. A lot of former French colonies still use it a lot.
