  Bad cadet, using French and Italian in the same email.  Of course your
  experience is atypical; you're a cadet to a WS in Artemisia as opposed to an
  Artemisian WS (not that there's anything wrong with that :) ).  Mtre. G. has
  all these funny ideas in his head that he teaches his cadets that he learned
  /elsewhere/. :)

  Don Conchobhar (who is happy to have Guillaume in Artemisia all these years
  and has learned much from him ... now if we could just get Nicollo and
  Christian to move back so we didn't have a WS trade deficit ...)

  There's a bit of Latin in there, too, although I think the good cadet meant to say "Je ne sais pas."
