But not today the struggle
I had a pupil yesterday for a class: after an hour of conversation I asked her to read aloud, from the opening chapter of Homage To Catalonia.
She speaks English well, her vocabulary is good and she also knows French: and yet the only words which she had never heard before were bourgeois and bourgeoisie.

Doesn't really surprise me. I suspect that the terms are falling into a collective memory loss as certain people suggest that they are no longer relevant. Sort of distressing really.
Loved your blog:) Keep up the good work!
