La vie franglophone started in 2009, when I moved to Paris to study French culture and to research le discours gastronomique (that is, the how/when/why/where… of talking -and especially writing- about food in France). In general, I’m interested in “tangible manifestations of culture” – language, art, music, festivals, food…
While I left Paris for New York in August ’10, la vie franglophone is hardly a done deal. Manhattan is teeming with les Français and I still work in the field of French culture. That means more linguistic slip-ups, cultural curiosities, and other franglophone musings to come.

I really enjoyed reading your article. I especially like how you incorprate french language into the piece, it flows fantastically. I am also passionate about writing and have just started my own blog, a total newbie. I’d really appreciate if you could read my articles and give your professional opinion.

Dear Carly, I always wanted to go for Paris, not only as a tourist, but perhaps permanently or seasonable, while working as a medical doctor at the ER of some hospital, maybe the American Hospital Paris. Would be great. How to get this dream to come true ? Regards.
Roderick,
Wish I had some connections at the American Hospital, to help you out! I think that might be a good place to start though, I’m sure they take med school students and/or doctors on periodically. Fusac is a great anglo-info source in Paris for connections as well. And – in my experience, networking is the #1 way to land yourself in a good spot with the French – they take word-of-mouth and reputation seriously! good luck!
