About the Author: I learned French during my student years in Paris. It rapidly became my second language, and has remained with me ever since. Becoming perfectly bilingual has been my constant passion. I still receive compliments on my French when I go to France or Québec. I listen carefully to French people when they speak. I pay attention to everything: accent, intonation, choice of words, vocabulary, grammar and expressions. The French appreciate attention paid to the details of the French language. At this time, I have the pleasure of teaching French at a private language school. I share my passion with my students.
