Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-18 00:00:00 Marilyne Castillo This is not an instruction manual for learning French. This is a book about French culture from an American perspective. And it's about learning French. It's an easy read - a fantastically introspective account on the author's journey from world-renowned master and author on Descartes, to someone who can communicate orally in the language - and who can be accepted within the society. I love his third-person POV as he describes interactions between American (adult) students in his French class (in France) - it's liberating and infuriating to any person who loves to experience foreign cultures and morphemes.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-12-26 00:00:00 Mr Alcock "You speak English using French words." "The Professor recommended that we go to the Luxembourg Gardens and find some old person sitting alone. "Go up to them and ask them to tell you their life story. That is a time-honored way in France to learn to speak French." I don't know. I never heard of anyone who tried it, and I'd advise anyone who did to stand well back while asking. Some of those old people can spit a long way."
