Q: Can you share a story about speaking French or learning about the culture that led to you understanding it even better?Ī: Growing up around Lafayette, in the center of Acadiana, one of my favorite holidays was always Mardi Gras. This has really helped me to parse out the language and retain and understand even more of what I learn with the app. When I started looking into it, I was surprised at how many movies and games had the option to use French audio, subtitles, or both. To supplement and reinforce my learning with Rosetta Stone, I’ve taken to watching movies or playing video games in French. I’ll work my way through a couple of the shorter unit lessons or one of the longer core lessons.

Q: Can you tell us about your language-learning routine, study habits, or complementary hobbies?Ī: For learning with the Rosetta Stone app, I actually like to drive to work a few minutes early and sit out in my car where it’s quiet. I knew there were areas of the state where French was still spoken with some regularity, but actually getting to meet people who not only spoke Cajun French, but who were also passionate about preserving and spreading the language was enlightening. Q: What are your thoughts about your French-immersion tour with Louis Michot?Ī: I had an amazing time touring Arnaudville with Louis and my fellow Rosetta Stone learners. I thought French would be a great way to connect myself with that history and hopefully open some opportunities for travel and my career. Q: Why did you choose to learn to speak French?Ī: I’ve always been interested in the history of the Acadian people, and when I decided I wanted to learn a second language. Although I picked up a few words and phrases throughout my youth, Rosetta Stone has allowed me to fill in a lot of gaps and gain some insight into my heritage. Q: How has choosing to learn French changed your life?Ī: Learning French has helped me connect more to the culture and history of my home and family. Jeremy explains why he chose the Rosetta Stone app to help him reclaim his French heritage.
