During my high school German I class, the teacher expressed a political opinion. A student started to disagree in German. Halfway through his sentence, it apparently dawned on the student that it was still early in the semester and that he hadn't learned two of the words in German that he'd planned to say. He forged ahead anyway.
"Das ist your opinion," he told the teacher.
I didn't agree with the student. Still, I thought he deserved credit for completing his thought--even though it took two languages to do it.
