Bonjour! I'm so happy to be able to help you on your French language journey! Learning to speak French has and continues to be a life-changing experience for me. This is why I'm so excited to see where your French language experiences take you in your future! Every language can teach us something about people, life and culture. So let's see what the Francophone world can teach us!
I've traveled to France many times (I even studied abroad in Paris in college) and I know you will get to travel there some day, too! I have also visited Quebec (only a 2 hour flight away from Chicago!) several times and hope to one day visit Morocco, Tunisia and Sénégal. I've also traveled to many other countries all over the world and EVERYWHERE I've been, I've found French speakers! I hope that, by picking up some of the language, you'll find French speakers everywhere you go, too!
Language studies are a life-long adventure. Little, painfully shy 18-year old me couldn't even dream of all of the wonderful places where French language has since taken me. This is what I hope for you- a life where your French language skills will help you to travel, make connections, enjoy life and open doors for you no matter what you choose to do in life!
