Indian Man Books Extended French Lesson to Prepare for Swiss Business Launch
An Indian man booked an unusually long 7.5-hour French lesson in a single day to prepare for opening a business in Switzerland, as shared by his online French teacher, comedian Bianca Lala. Initially thinking it was a mistake, she learned he was a beginner committed to intensive learning. Their sessions continued daily for weeks, with Lala praising his dedication and humorously suggesting Indians might 'steal AI's job.' The story gained viral attention, though its full authenticity remains unconfirmed.
