French: Le français is my second language and I've been interested in teaching French online for years. I've finally begun to create online vocabulary and listening exercises for students of French - including slang and informal language missing from textbooks, as well as videos and podcasts. |  |
France: I've lived in France since 2006. I originally came here as an English assistant for high schools but have since moved on to teaching at the university level. I've written several pages on the assistantship program and being an expat in France that new residents should find helpful. |

Languages: There are 14 other language tutorials on the site, a few of which include audio files, flashcards and exercises. I'm a strong supporter of using computers and the internet in language learning and teaching, and I'd like to incorporate more audio-visual resources into the tutorials. |  |
Linguistics: The scientific study of language and how humans learn a second language has always been the focus of my studies. In this section, you can find notes and papers I wrote in undergrad and graduate school, mostly on second language acquisition. To prepare for university study, try Summer School UK. |
 |
Blog: I generally post every other day on topics such as French culture vs. American culture, studying French and other languages, interesting websites for learning languages, adventures in teaching English at the university level, and surviving French bureaucracy. |  |
About Me: For those who are curious as to who exactly runs this site: it's just me. I do all of the coding and updating by myself, but I have been helped by very generous people who wrote some of the language tutorials for languages that I am not yet studying. |

Travel Photos: Learning languages and traveling go together! I've traveled to 21 countries so far, and uploaded many of my photos to web albums. Feel free to use the photos as you'd like. I'll be expanding this area soon to include tips on traveling cheaply in Europe. |  |
Site Map: Looking for a particular page or section? The tutorials are grouped according to the Indo-European languages family tree and the other pages are grouped according to their main topics. |
