My French Language Exchange Friend

As I mentioned earlier today,  I met my Language Exchange Friend.  Basically, NYU sent out an email asking us to send them an email if we wanted to meet with a French person so that we could improve our French and they could improve their English.  As you might have guessed, I signed up for it and sometime last week I got an email telling me that I was paired with Sophie.  We met today for the first time and went to a tea salon to hang out for a little bit.  She brought a friend with her who is also paired up with an NYU student.  Turns out they both went to college in Normandy (where they're from) and they studied English there.  Sophie spent a year in the UK while her friend spent a year in the US.  So needless to say, they both speak English really really well, while I speak French not so well.  Anyways, hopefully it will help my French and at any rate, it's nice to have a French friend (or two).  A bunch of Sophie's other friends are also doing the language exchange program so I think that we'll be doing a lot of group dinners, which should be fun.  I'll let you know how it goes...
