je parle américain

I'm a 40-year-old former attorney from Washington, DC, who moved to Paris two years ago for love. I met the love of my life when I was in Paris on vacation in April 2009; we were engaged three months later and married a year after that. I have been in Paris on a student visa, studying French language and civilization at the Sorbonne. I am also a Cambridge CELTA instructor of English to speakers of other languages. Finding a teaching gig has not been the easiest thing to do, but I'm still on it. In the meantime, I write a blog called je parle américain. It's essentially my online diary, where I chronicle my experiences and observations of daily life in Paris from an American perspective. You should check it out at www.jeparleamericain.com. My interests are linguistics and history, social equality movements, and vegetarianism. I'm probably the only non-BBQ-eating South Carolinian you'll find in France. Enchanté, tout le monde ... I look forward to meeting you!
