A Beautiful French Film...


To have another language is to possess a second soul.

~Charlemagne


I think I've neglected to mention this before but when I'm not modeling and globetrotting and doing, you know, glamorous stuff (can you hear the sarcasm?), I do something else.


I teach English to international students at a language school.  I work one-on-one as a personal tutor to mostly students in their twenties-- people hailing from China, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Turkey, Colombia...


It's a W.O.N.D.E.R.F.U.L experience.  You know that bumper sticker that says, "I touch the future; I teach."?  Well, that's how I feel.  Everyday I get to work with some of the best and brightest young people from these countries.  And, I get to (help) teach them a language-- English-- which can only serve to further them along.  It's an awesome feeling.


I discovered this stylish little French film-- an advertisement for EF Language Schools- via this blog.  I LOVE it (especially because I studied abroad in Paris and ADORED.EVERY.SECOND).  The video sums up everything that is wonderful about learning a new language.

Paris has recently become one of my most favorite places on earth. It's so cool that you studied abroad there!
