Joyeuse Action de grâce!

🍁 Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all our friends celebrating today! To mark the occasion, meet one of our Canadian teachers, Gary Gluck. Born in Toronto to Swiss parents from the French-speaking Jura, he learned French early so he could talk with family in Switzerland. He then grew up in Brussels, where he went to French-language schools. After earning a BA in English Literature from Carleton University in Ottawa, he studied literary translation in Brussels and went on to an MFA in Comparative Literature and Literary Translation at the University of Iowa. For the past 25 years he’s worked as a French-to-English translator on everything from EU policy to finance to NGO reports. He has taught French at the University of Portland, Kennesaw State, the University of Iowa, and here at the Alliance. He’s also a certified DELF/DALF examiner. He has studied Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, and Turkish, and he’s still curious about one big question: what’s the best way to learn a language, and what works for each student? We think his students are lucky to find out with him. Join Gary in class this fall session!
