Richard Watson was invited to deliver a paper on Rene Descartes—in French, a language Watson could read but couldn’t speak. A private crash course and lessons at the Alliance Française only served to prove how difficult it can be to learn any foreign language, especially later in life. Throughout are digressions on the contrasts between France and America, on the mysteries of French engineering, and on eccentric French spelunkers. This book is for anyone who has done battle with another language—especially French!
