Armentières, France (moments before embarking on a summer-long bike trip through France, which ended badly in Menton: gangrenous retrocecal appendix--thank you to the Centre Hospitalier La Palmosa for saving my life!)

Should you be taking French with me, I urge you to consider what you want to do with the language and would be happy to meet with you to discuss your options. A good starting point is this poster ("Oral Proficiency Levels in the Workplace"), prepared by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). I also recommend that all my students consider the following:
Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life.
Ninety Ways to Thrive in College
The Perverse Consequences of the Easy A
