Why French 201???





Alyssa Smith
Alyssa’s father was in the air force and she grew up a little bit all over. She was exposed to a number of languages and already speaks Spanish. However, while living in Ramstein, Germany, 20 minutes from the French border she fell in love with the French language. While at French Idol a few years ago, she talked with Bethany Daniels, a French instructor, and decided to take a French class. She is studying Nursing and getting a French minor. She hopes to be an international nurse someday…maybe in France, Tahiti, or Madagascar?

Douglas is from Brazil. French is his 3rd language. He grew up speaking Portuguese, learned English, is learning French, and would like to learn Italian and German. He is currently taking French 201 and is a Mechanical Engineering student hoping to work in aerospace engineering. Since the most of the biggest aerospace companies are American, French, and Brazilian, it is only fitting for Douglas to be studying French as well.
