Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Max who loved to learn new languages. One day, he decided to visit his cousin in France to practice his French. But when he got there, he realized that everyone was speaking with a different accent and using idioms that he didn't understand.
Max was so confused! He thought he knew how to speak French, but now he wasn't sure. He started to mix up words and expressions, and even struggled to pronounce the simplest words.
One day, Max met an old man who was a language expert. The old man listened to Max's struggles and told him that everyone has their own way of speaking a language, and that's what makes it unique and special.
Max was so relieved and started to enjoy speaking French with his new friends and family. He learned to appreciate the different accents and idioms, and even started to use a few himself!
From that day on, Max was never confused about language again, and he learned to embrace the beauty and diversity of every expression.
