New Book Flirting with French: Adventures in Pursuit of a Language Author: William Alexander Book Description: Join New York Times bestselling author William Alexander in his adventures in pursuit of a language. William is not just a Francophile, he wants to be French. It's not enough to explore the country, to enjoy the food and revel in the ambience, he wants to feel French from the inside. Among the things that stand in his way is the fact that he can't actually speak the language. Setting out to conquer the language he loves (but which, amusingly, does not seem to love him back), William devotes himself to learning French, going beyond grammar lessons and memory techniques to delve into the history of the language, the science of linguistics, and the art of translation. Along his journey - whether they be travels in France or following his passion at home - he discovers that all you really need is a dose of courage.
