Duolingo just taught me the Italian for "The monkey reads a book." That's bound to be handy, right?

I've been thinking about this... I think some units provide phrases that are commonly used. The "proverbs" unit on duolingo, for example. But for units where the focus is on grammar or syntax, I think the strangeness of the vocabulary might help... help to remember the phrase, help it to stand out. As I'm back in the flow of speaking and writing in French again, I'm not using phrases I've memorized but trusting that my brain remembers the forms and structures I've learned.

This scene ( https://youtu.be/1k5057V... through 14:20 or so ) reminds me of this. It became a family catchphrase when I was a kid.
