Deborah's Program
I was a French teacher in New Jersey for over 29 years. My love for the French language and culture began when I lived with two French families during the summer after my sophomore year in high school. I studied in Tours, France, my junior year of college, and I was an English teaching assistant in a lycée in Dinan, Brittany, the year between undergrad and grad school.
