Je pense que le français est vraiment cool

I am finally relearning French, stateside, after several years in the linguistic wilderness. For the first time I have the advantage of being taught by a native speaker (master's degree in French literature -- and coauthor of the textbook).

Class began yesterday. I enjoy it already. I have little real work to do yet, since everything so far is review for me. Things are coming back to mind readily. I have already made badly-needed corrections to my accent, however. I also have a better perspective than I had when I was twelve; since I have seen France and Belgium for myself, and generally have a better grasp of the scope of the world, I can place the language in a fuller context.
