Yes, the introduction grabbed my attention. I believe he is focusing on a significant event in his life. He moved to France to improve his French and had a mean teacher who always found negative things to say about everyone in class. I did visualize a classroom, teacher and the foreign students. He quoted the teacher a lot. I moved here from Germany and did go to school in France for a couple of weeks on an exchange program, so I could connect the story to my experience. He started enjoying listening to the teacher when he could finally understand all the insults she threw at him. In the conclusion he states that he can now understand every word the instructor is saying, but not speak it pretty yet. He came to Paris to get better with French and he did accomplish that.
