I loved the fact that we watched a Monty Python clip in class, I mean, how often do you get to see a part of your favorite movie as your classwork? I find, however, that there is a scene in another Monty Python movie that has more to do with languages.
For those of you, who have not seen The Life of Brian, here is the background to the scene. Brian was born in the stable next to the one, where Jesus was born, and the wise men originally came to him, but then realized their mistake, got the presents back and went to the next barn. Brian grew up to be a passionate anti-Roman protester and almost got accepted to an underground organization of Judea People's Front. Or People's Front of Judea. Or Judea Popular People's Front. Being anti-Roman was a popular thing at the time. Anyway, to become a full-time member of the group he has to write "Romans, go home" on the wall, surrounding Pilate's palace.
