About Lanny

Very much look forward to working together to define goals, methods, and starting point.
Hard work in relaxed atmosphere, either on Skype, on line, or in person yields excellent results.

FRENCH: Although having studied the language 3 years in High School and 2 years at Yale, I had a monomaniacal goal to pass for a native French guy. So, I stranded myself in France, taking a year's leave of absence from college. Achieved my goal, married a lovely French lady, who ended up teaching back at college. Never spoke English to my daughter, except to be polite in front of other Americans, until she was 12 years old. At Yale, was awarded the Lafayette Prize (for excellence in French language) my Junior year.

ENGLISH: Although I majored in English, my best teacher in the subject, by far, was my seventh grade English teacher. She made us memorize all the prepositions, parce sentences, and learn proper grammer in fine detail.
