Looking for Hugo

Looking for Hugo — Language exchange in a pub, Dublin, 2013

Language exchange in a pub, Dublin, Ireland Autumn 2013, evening

Every Wednesday for a term, back room of the same pub. Hugo was hopeless at English tenses and brilliant at explaining French geography on beer mats. He went back to Nantes at Christmas and the email address I had stopped working within a year. If anyone kept those beer mats, they were works of art.

Around late 20s at the time · male · French, taught me swear words instead of grammar, drew maps on beer mats.
