My bed-time reading last night was Hold On to Your Kids co-authored by Gabor Mate. In it, I came across something interesting relevant to language learning. 

Attachment provides power-assisted learning - how delightful it is, many people have found, to study a new language when in love with the charming instructor! Whether we know it or not, as parents and teachers we rely heavily on attachment to make models out of us.

 So perhaps them premise of Maeve Binchy's Evening Class was not as far-fetched as I originally thought. Perhaps I ought to work on attachment starting the new semester.
