Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "William Alexander is more than a Francophile. He wants to be French. There's one small obstacle though: he doesn't speak la langue française. In FLIRTING WITH FRENCH, Alexander sets out to conquer the language he loves. But will it love him back? [] Alexander eats, breathes, and sleeps French (even conjugating in his dreams). He travels to France, where mistranslations send him bicycling off in all sorts of wrong directions, and he nearly drowns in an immersion class in Provence, where, faced with the riddle of masculine breasts, feminine beards, and a turkey cutlet of uncertain gender, he starts to wonder whether he should've taken up golf instead of French. While playing hooky from grammar lessons and memory techniques, Alexander reports on the riotous workings of the Académie française, the four-hundred-year-old institution charged with keeping the language pure; explores the science of human communication, learning why it's harder for fifty-year-olds to learn a second language than it is for five-year-olds; and, frustrated with his progress, explores an IBM research lab, where he trades barbs with a futuristic hand-held translator. [] Does he succeed in becoming fluent? Readers will be as surprised as Alexander is to discover that, in a fascinating twist, studying French may have had a far greater impact on his life than actually learning to speak it ever would." [flap copy] "A delightful and courageous tale and a romping good read. Voila!"--Mark Greenside. "Highly readable . . . Mr. Alexander presents himself as an apprentice, but the reader quickly discovers he is also a master teacher . . . Mr. Alexander even manages a highly readable gloss of Noam Chomsky's linguistic theory, a feat of intellectual distillation akin to 'Jacques Derrida for Dummies.'"--Wall Street Journal. "Hilarious and touching, all the way to the surprise ending. Alexander proves that learning a new language is an adventure of its own--with all the unexpected obstacles, surprising breakthroughs and moments of sublime pleasure traveling brings."--Julie Barlow, author of Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, French flaps, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. "Très, très bien!". …
