Multilingualish

Thanks to UChicago-blogger Victor for wishing me well post-graduation in my second- and would-be-third languages. This seems like the time to note that, during my Hebrew presentation this morning on the Dreyfus Affair, I referred to Bernard Lazare as "il" and it took me about 30 seconds to accept that this pronoun came from the wrong language.

I can't tell the difference between French and Israeli accents, so my New York accent carries over to all foreign languages I try to speak.
