[video] Leslie Knope: Socio-Linguistic Coordinator

[lesliemonster]

Hello, everyone. This is Leslie Knope.

[Sounding much more energized than her last audio! And this one is a full on video. She's sitting behind her trusty desk, hair neatly coiffed, suit jacket lint flee. To her side: a stack of idea binders!]

We've got a few exciting things coming up. Keep an eye out for the next book club meeting: we will be reading The Great Gatsby, a book that should ring especially true to life considering the most recent breach. Get your copies now!

But today, I'm contacting you to gauge interest in an upcoming event, inspired by Ms. Romanoff's call for linguists. If we were to host a barge-wide language exchange, who among you would be willing to offer to share their own language skills? It's a unique -- literally, a once-in-a-universe opportunity -- to broaden our cross cultural understanding and get to know one another just a little better.

[Yeah, she got none of that.]

I think your English is significantly better than my French. But thankfully, we've got this language exchange coming up!

Do you still need French teachers? I know a few other languages, but not nearly so well.

[lesliemonster]

I know I do! It's the only language I know anything of, I'd love to try and learn more.

[je_suis_avec_toi]

I started learning many of them when I was a child.

[lesliemonster]

I was mostly into sports, camping, theater, basket weaving, model u.n., break dancing, politics, sewing, model U.N. club, that kind of stuff.

[She says, sounding shameful :c]

Languages got set aside.

Languages were an intrinsic part of my education, but I have to admit I preferred practicing fencing with my brother.
