About Paul Schwartz

Living in France can be a challenge, especially when you have to quickly learn how to get along personally and professionally as a non-native speaker. As an American language teacher and writer married into a French family, I had begun work in the Bordeaux region, only to discover that my years of academically-based French language studies had proven to be entirely inadequate for the task at hand.
