Moot Thoughts & Musings

...and can swing a couple of months in the summer in the south of France, I highly recommend this place--L'Institut d'Études Françaises pour Étudiants Étrangers (or French Institute for Foreign Students) in Aix-en-Provence. I went here for the June and July intensive terms in the summer of 1999, between years 3 and 4 out of 5 in college. I went from zero knowledge to being able to carry on a half-way decent conversation on a variety of topics, and being able to sort of the read the newspaper...in two months. It was intensive, but really great!

I was reminded of this school last night when I was talking to an ethnomusicology grad student who is going to Marseille to study n. African music and wanted to get a bit more solid in French.

When I went there, they didn't have a website or email. I googled it last night and found the website. It was a wonderful place; I really cherish my time there.

p.s. I went for the summer terms, but they do have normal school year terms, too. :)
