L'introduction! Bonjour tout mes amis nouveaux des italki! A little about me (perhaps we have things in common!): I am a voracious reader of scientific books and magazines, I've been a vegan for over half my life, both my BA and MA degrees from university are in Anthropology, I play guitar (but... not amazingly), I live 1/2 a mile from the beach in southern California, and I have a dark sense of humor (or so I've been told... repeatedly). I started learning French about 5 weeks ago- and would LOVE to meet French speakers who are *patient* and would like to do 50/50 language exchange- I am fluent in both English and American Sign Language (I'm a sign language interpreter), so if you're interested in chatting, let me know! J'espoir a bientot!
