Turns out the email address in my earlier posting is faulty. Please use blydgate@wellesley.edu to send ideas for documents for Part 2 of the new FiA textbook. Sorry!
Thanks to Robert Eder for drawing my attention to the problem.

Barry Lydgate here. I’m working with Pierre Capretz on updating Part 2 of the FiA textbook; in summer 2014 it will join Part 1, published this year, to complete the new Third Edition.
We’re seeking suggestions for updated text and cultural documents for inclusion in Part 2 (lessons 27-52). We’d like ideas for documents that reflect multicultural France and the Francophone world of today, and that connect if possible to one of the thematic and semantic fields of the lessons of Part 2: transports, logements, architecture, théâtre, cinéma, multimédia, ordinateurs, vacances, voyages, écologie. . . .
Our deadline with the Yale Press approaches. Please send your ideas—preferably with the document itself or a precise reference to it—to me at blydgate@gapps.wellesley.edu. If we use your idea we will of course acknowledge your contribution in the book. Merci infiniment!

I can’t understand why other languages like Chinese don’t have something comparable to French in Action! Apparently the third edition of the textbook has come out on Yale and Amazon. The workbook is coming out soon (if not already) but I am wondering how the audio files for the workbook will be presented, online for free or on an audio-CD?

I absolutely love, love, *LOVE* this wonderful, entertaining language course.

As fan "Anna" wrote (le 6 juin, 2011), I, too, benefitted GREATLY watching this series during a "severe depression."

One day, I woke up and wasn’t depressed, anymore, because I finally had had something to *look forward to* that day: Studying French, in every way in which I could; there’s nothing worse in life than to be without a goal(s).

Merci beaucoup, *chér Professuer Capretz*, pour le cours de langue *extraordinaire*!

Mireille about Marie-Laure. "Quelle celle gosse, cette gamine!"

My French friends’ children are much better behaved than those of my American friends, and even better than my English friends’ kids who live in Paris.
