Deux traducteurs à bord d'un navire conversent.
- «Savez-vous nager?» dit l'un d'entre eux.

I am doing my PhD in Comparative Literature at the University of Alberta. In my research I use three languages: Farsi, English, and French. The first is my mother tongue, and the second has been the language of instruction in my studies during the past decade. As for French, I dare to say that my familiarity with Camille’s great products has been a turning point in my relationship with this language. Thanks Camille!
