Bonjour TLM-

I just joined this community, because I am interested in learning more about French culture and the language. I took three years of French in high school, and although that was about 10 years ago I try to keep it up, because my boyfriend of several years is French. I am interested in teaching ESL there in about a year, because I want really want to live there for a while! Also, I miss my boyfriend. . . I am currently teaching ESL in Korea and am certified in TESOL.

Ok, now that the introduction is over, I have a (most likely random-sounding) question.

Is there anyone here who is pursuing/has pursued any sort of graduate degree in musicology or music theory? I'm interested to hear more about that, and how it's like in France. I have undergraduate degrees in music history and German, and a masters in music history.

merci d'avance!

Bonjour!

A mission team from my church is very involved with some projects in Haiti, and they would like to be able to post their mission statement in English and French. They sent me the English version and the start of a French version, but they say it's very rough. My French is not up to this speed yet to check word choice and details of grammar, so I was wondering if anyone here could help? Merci beaucoup!

To what extent is it normal to work in France while being a day-time student? By being a student I mean studying in university or Grand Ecole.

Is it possible to work while being a student?

P.S.
One bonus question:)
What can one expect if he graduated from one of the Ecole Central Group universities in a job sense?
