I live in Southern California, and am a professional there who has traveled and worked in many other countries for brief periods of time, but the work was always in English. I am learning French as I planning a trip to French speaking countries. I am looking for any assistance in the form of online native French speakers and instructors to other people who can chat and are on the road to fluency at a fairly high level. Accent reduction would be nice, but after all, I understand that will be difficult. However, first just being able to hold a conversation where I am understood clearly is my first goal.

    The most recent book I've read

    The most recent book I've read is titled "Other lives than mine" by Emmanuel Carrère, a french author.  

    The narrator is witness of two terrible events during the same year: a tsunami during her summer holidays in Sri Lanka, and the death of his wife's sister. This beautifull book speak about disease, extreme poverty, and also about love and justice. It's a true story, and the author is the narrator.

    The story is about a man who is on summer holiday in Sri Lanka, and he is staying in a nice hotel with his wife and his children when suddenly a big tsunami devistates part of the island. The hotel where they are staying is intact, but he's confronted with the result of this terrible event. He relates these two sad events with detailed realism and humanity stiring emotiong in the reader. 

    When I was reading this book, I was in Sri Lanka, just in front of the ocean. It's a very strange experience because when I was saw the ocean, I was thinking: "the ocean is beautiful and it looks so tranquil and quite, but it has eaten so many lives"
