Subject: Re: Learning the lingo?
Frances,

So far, we've only gone to Paris, but yes, my husband and I have taken a conversational French course at the local community college to prepare for our trip to Paris :-) We've actually done this two years in a row, as you can take the class as many times as you want. We found that we'd forgotten a lot in the intervening year. We loved the class both years, as it consisted mostly of adults who wanted to learn the language because they were traveling to France or Switzerland. We live near Peoria, and many of the people in the class worked for Caterpillar, which has offices in Switzerland.

Best, Sandy in Illinois
