Original Toronto Star caption: Taking his weekly lesson in French from his tutor Judith Favier, in his City Hall office, Mayor William Dennison answers questions, in French, from homework she assigned him the previous week. The mayor has been studying French for six months but had kept it a secret because I don't want people to think I'm Huent and start talking to me before I'm ready. He has 1,000-word vocabulary.
