When I first made this entry, I was super gong-ho to learn French and to move away from my traditional English obsession to a traditional French one. But to be honest I really want to travel and the process learn languages. If I end up in Paris doing this I will most definitely kick up my heels and smile. But it is no longer my motive force – now I am going “guru”; learning and travelling my life as well as I can.

My lease is up in March 2007 and that is really my main financial obligation. I can work through then to save money for tuition and accomodation fees.
I’ve been looking through http://www.wle-france.com/paris/ to get a sense of how best to learn French. I would love to learn French in an immersive environment, which means moving to France for a bit. I don’t know how long it would take, but I am a fast learner and would not mind sticking it out in Paris _ until I learn.
