French Language and Culture

"Of all the stumbling blocks inherent in learning this language, the greatest for me is the principle that each noun has a corresponding sex that affects both its articles and its adjectives. Because it is female and lays eggs, a chicken is masculine…. The word masculinity is feminine. Forced by grammar to take a stand one way or the other, hermaphrodite is male and indecisiveness is female…. Say what you like about southern social structure, but at least in North Carolina a hot dog is free to swing both ways."

-David Sedaris, from his book Me Talk Pretty One Day

As a journalist and sociologist living in Paris, I studied, observed, and engulfed myself in the French language and culture. I am interested in writing in French, and writing about the nuances of French language, as well as comparing and contrasting urban living here and abroad.
