I'm a retired Communication professor currently living in Philadelphia. I'm very interested in learning new languages at this stage of my life (long overdue) and I'm beginning with French. My goal is to achieve a minimum of conversational fluency by the early autumn of next year. At the time of this writing, I'm rated at a level of A1.2 in French (reading/writing). I'm interested in books, films, music, sports, and current events. I live with my partner, her daughter, and one dog and cat.
