The opening lines immediately capture the dilemma the narrator faces - having to turn down a lucrative job opportunity requiring French fluency because their skills have become too rusty. The story does a good job portraying the narrator's desperate attempts to relearn and brush up on their French through various methods like reviewing old study materials, watching French media, etc.
