Bookman & Moi
A New Language School
In America, we tutoyer.
In France, la joie de vivre.
In Italy, la dolce vita.
ABOUT:
Bookman & Moi is a language company that offers English, French, and Italian, for adults and children.
The founder is a published novelist and short storyist in the United States, Sweden, and French-speaking Switzerland. He is adapting a novel into a film with an assistant director of the Oscar-winning film « Little Women. »
In addition, he has worked as a professional teacher for the French company « Cercle des Langues » and an arts high school in Italy.
The services he has proposed are designed as an à la carte menu, with language education that is sweet, salty, bitter, or savory, depending on the desires of the client that day, or the type of language a student wants - a formal three course intensive meal, or just a sample - an amuse-bouche.
The education is both serious and playful because Bookman & Moi believes that language is best learned « ludiquement, » integrated with formal stylistics and grammar. The company believes the coursework is unique because it blends the best of both cultures, academic and the practical realities of work and culture - often faster moving, and taken in bites.
