Session Summary:
Pavan did just great tonight. We jumped right into continuing our translation of Daudet's «La dernière classe», and Pavan demonstrated an advanced command of translating French into English. He did an especially good job this afternoon with rendering the *ideas* the French was expressing into good, smooth English that expressed those same ideas in the way native English speakers would do so. I feel Pavan has mounted a real summit in his ongoing growth as a scholar and practitioner of the French language. Très bien, mon jeune ami—merci pour avoir fait si bien cet après-midi!
