Bonjour!! Je vois Paris en Septembre 2005 and je parle francais avec les autres en Paris. Je pense que je travaille plus francais comme je parle tres bien, mais non. Mercie pour l'ecole en francais and je pense plus grand que toi. Probably really screwed that up but thanks for being a great teacher and I wished I had gone to Europe sooner after high school so my French would have been better..but none the less..I think I was about 60% fluent..with the dictionary..LOL..Thanks for being so great!!

I enjoyed Dr. Nagarkar's classes the most...he was able to engage his students better than others.
