  Imagine you're in this amazing world of the French language, a three hour world, but still you are learning the basics of the language while letting this amazing culture sink into your mind. I mean how wonderful is that?! It wasn't until the seminar on Saturday that I care to notice how many French words and phrases the American culture uses and have been using. I also learned that this wonderful language can be a challenge but with hard work and dedication it is possible to at least know the basics. So hang on tight as I briefly go over the basics.
