joseph dunn, director of the council on the development of french in louisiana, says speaking frenchd to be a crime. >> in 1916 french became sort of illegal to speak in the classrooms and also in the public buildings in the state. in 1921 there was a constitution that reinforced those anti-french laws. >> students caught speaking french were suspended, even expelled. s high school and college students could study french but only as a foreign language. dunn says all that began to change in the late 1960s with the establishment of kodafill and its push to reintroduce french into elementary classrooms. >> i myself was introduced to french through those programs in 1980. >> reporter: dunn was in fourth grade then and says it was far different from today's french immersion programs. >> actually it was french as a second language program. students were given, depending on the school and the system, 30 minutes of french three times a week so that's where i began. >> reporter: an upgrade to true immersion started in the mid 1980s. that meant finding the right teachers. dunn says to this day

i'll mention my favorite villain who's this french, he's this french-canadian, he shows up in three ofhe, the american -- he becomes a really bogeyman of the americans because he was a brilliant leader of indians from different tribes, but he could get them to do what he wanted them to do. he may have been responsible for the fort william henry massacre, there's disputes about what exactly his role is. after canada falls to the british, he decides he's going to go home. he sails in a leaky old ship which catches fire three times as it's sailing along the st. lawrence. he gets to what's now cape bretton island. a storm blows up, the ship is wrecked, there are about 120 people onboard. all except six drown including his two sons who slip out of his arms. six of them get, get ashore including the captain who's now completely useless. he organizes these six so they bury the dead. he then builds a fire, he goes into the woods. he finds some indians, persuades the indians to take care of these five survivors, makes himself some snowshoes and walks 1500 miles to quebec in the middle of winter

[speaks french] >> since christmas markets originated in german-speaking europe in the 16th century, it's natural that basel, located on the rhine river and with suburbs in germany, has one of switzerland's oldest and liveliest markets. while the christmas market tradition is rather recent in the french part of switzerland, here in basel, in the german part of switzerland, it's been going on for hundreds of years. so in these christmas markets, you'll find a lot of the traditional things connected to christmas, like the cookies and the gluhwein and even local breads. and even more traditional than the loaves of bread are the getoffin dinette, or the pizza-like-looking items over here. that one's made with potatoes, cheese, and speck, which is bacon. mmm. that's lovely. the best thing about christmas--the foods. you know you're

and later, number 10 downing street said the french comments had not been helpful in any way. >> french officials very well know how acute their problems are and how damaging they could be. what they're trying to do here is deflect attention away from their own problems. >> and here's the background to this row. france has long been sensitive about any downgrading of its credit rating. if it were to happen, it would be a vote of declining confidence in the second-most important economy in the euro zone and it would force us its borrowing costs. so how does the u.k. compare with france? this year, british growth is forecast to be about 0.8%. france is about the same. but while the u.k. government has to pay just over 2% interest to borrow over 10 years, france has to pay almost 3%. why? because financial markets think france's banks are more exposed to the euro zone crisis. relations between david cameron and nicolas sarkozy chilled after last week's summit when britain had vetoed a new treaty to enforce greater budgetry discipline in the euro zone. tonight, one ratings agency warned aga

french president nicolas sarkozy was talking about rethinking the european union. that was not in this language at all. what kind of budgetary discipline will be enforced and how? the french art sort of painting that they expect the germans to do something with the european central bank -- the french are sort of hinting that they expect the germans to do something to help the european central bank. there's nothing spelled out from germany to confirm that. we have been given a sort of outline, but we have not seen any substance yet at all. until that comes, i think the markets will remain skeptical. >> we just got the very latest pictures of david cameron in paris. he is visiting mr sarkozy today. i'm wondering if you believe either in france or in the european union if there's any interest in listening to mr. cam ranh? eron? does their voices count at all in paris? >> not really when it comes to discussing this plan with german chancellor angela merkel, which has occupied all their attention. they did have a very public row, as you know, a few weeks ago. all of the
