My French teacher at UC Riverside was a dude called Thierry Grassioulet, who hailed from Lyon and smoked unfiltered Gauloises Blondes. He was an adjunct, apparently, because the university booted him after five years but kept the curriculum he designed, whereafter he threatened to sue. Instead he declared bankruptcy and taught English in Korea for many years, and now I've just looked him up, he's back in Boston.
Amazing teacher. Kindred soul.
Bc he was awesome I have better French than Dave (but mostly writing/reading, not spoken due to lack of practice). Apparently Calgary just wasn't interested.
