English term or phrase: schoolgirl French
In my schoolgirl French, I politely asked the assistant if she could do my eyebrows (referring to the level of French that one attains in secondary school - any set expression for this in Catalan?)

Amb un francès de col·legiala...
Explanation:
schoolgirl = col.legiala

in catalan, posessives are much less used unless they are necessary.
saying "amb un francès de col.legiala, vaig demanar educadament..." it's clear than this french is the one you speak.

I'm a catalan native speaker.
