IN ENGLISH, OF COURSE

 

When Josephine must use her "broken English" to tell her new class about city life in Naples, Italy, she instead finds herself describing her one hilarious foray to a farm. As the teacher provides the immigrant child with the vocabulary to help her tell her coherent--if uproarious--tale, mutual bonds of admiration form.
