My interests are wide. I just graduated as an English major who specializes in Creative Writing, with an Anthropology minor.I also did research in Neuroscience - search "Your brain on Jane Austen" and you'll see what I worked on. I enjoy being active and love adventure. National Geographic magazine holds so much dear to my heart. I am happy to help with English learners as they help me with my French. Teach me your accent and I'll teach you how Michiganders speak (key: we slur our words together and drop consonants, you can see why I picked french as the language to learn ;] ) ! My big goal is to read books in French. I currently own Milan Kundera's "La plaisanterie," and "Percy Jackson: Le voleur de foudre" by Rick Riordan. My favorite part of language is the feeling associated with the words, how there exists an emotional history behind them. If you are interested in explaining the history and idea behind a handful of words (and doing it all in French while I try to understand and talk back), you are the person for me, so let me know ! I took some French classes in college (highest I went was basic grammar, but I enjoyed it). My memory is not great, so flashcards do not help me as much as just throwing myself into conversation and trying my best ! Which is what I plan to do here. Interests: *yoga & pilates *food, I will talk about cream and butter and meat all day long, but I eat mostly vegetarian. once again, it is the rich cultural history behind food which truly intrigues me. also, the taste. seafood is my favorite. *art, history, science, philosophers, theory, animals, environment... I love to learn (except no politics, I have had too much politics talk in college and I am over it)
