Description
When in French is a laugh-out-loud funny and surprising memoir about the lengths we go to for love, as well as an exploration across culture and history into how we learn languages - and what they say about who we are.
The author's journey to learn French is a fascinating and often hilarious account of her experiences with language, identity, and society. From excruciating role-playing games at a Swiss language school to accidentally insulting her mother-in-law, Collins describes the frustrations, embarrassments, surprises, and joys of learning - and living in - French.
This memoir offers a unique perspective on the complexities of human language and culture, and is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in linguistics, travel, or simply the power of love to overcome even the most daunting challenges.
