Francophonia ― Stories from the Professional French Masters Program

When did you realize the "French-speaking world" was not what you expected?Ritt Deitz, who directs the University of Wisconsin-Madison Professional French Masters Program, has brought together writers who see the "monde francophone" a little differently now than when they were studying the language in classrooms. They saw French as a way to get into that world that spans the globe from Paris to Montreal to Brazzaville and beyond—learning, along the way, that working in French is not necessarily the same thing as being French.
