I teach someone something about French: "Déjà Vu is French for 'Already Seen' and Jamais Vu is French for 'Never Seen', if you didn't know that already."
Matt is bald as of yesterday. I think it looks good.
Our bank account is overdrawn by $268. I thought I had worked all of this out to make sure [...]

With Jess' help, I've been trying to learn French over the past few days. For someone with Language skills very unused to the phonetics used in French, this is a somewhat daunting task.
