Parlez vous Francais?

Time to learn yet another foreign language. Though, in all fairness, it's relearning. I took French when we lived in Liberia, it was part of the kindergarten curriculum, and I took French in high school. I can get by with basic greetings and food ordering, but I need (want) to take it to the next level and actually develop it as a marketable skill. I know, you're thinking HELLO (HOLA) Spanish!! But while Spanish is widely spoken on this half of the continent and further down south, French is the go to language for much of Africa and more than a couple countries in Europe. So, French it is!

This, then, of course, begs the question, am I really going to leave my job and move overseas. The answer to that is I don't know. I said once I had my Masters (did I mention I got my Masters?? Take THAT, To Do List!) that I was going to get out of OLE and get into OIA. But, after registering for the Foreign Service exam, I skipped it. And really, I love SF. However, I am sure I would love Geneva just as much!!! So who knows, this may just be an awesome time filler. We'll see.

  1. Wow, well from my point of view down here in southeast Texas, either place sounds fantastic. I would love to just visit San Francisco, much less live there!

    By the way, thanks for the follow. Tomorrow I'm writing on something that you may want to chime in on: sourdough (and please forgive the stereotype if it is one). :)
