Marie Marguerite was born in Brittany. Brittany is a
very pretty region in the northwest of France facing England. Brittany
has a Celtic ancestry like Scotland and Ireland and only became French
in the 16th Century, when Anne de Bretagne married Charle VIII king of France.
Marie Marguerite lived in several Breton cities such as Dinan, St Brieuc,
and Rennes, where she studied Fine Arts for two years. Then, she went to
Paris where she lived for 16 years and worked at Pierre and Marie Curie
University.
She came to the United States in February 1986 and became an
American citizen 8 years later in February 1994. Marie Marguerite earned
her M.A. in French literature at S.F.S.U where she taught for one year.
After that, she worked for Geonexus, a private agency in Palo Alto that sent her
to teach in international companies until she decided to create her own network
of students eight years ago.
Additionally, Marie Marguerite founded the French Speakers Dinner
Club (FSDC),
dining and French conversation for French speakers of any level.
