Rather mixed emotions about the memory of having to read Victor Hugo's original novel Les Miserables for 'A' Level French Lit in 1973. Tough going as I recall. Utterly gobsmacked to hear, years later, it had become a successful musical.
I remember A Level French Lit as unremitting agony. The language part of the course was much better & all these years (50+) later, I can still do a bit 😉

One sentence!
It’s intimidating.
Quelle horreur!
I’m faking it and using Google Translate. I took 2 years of French in Jr. High school.
But that only gets me so far.
