Who am I and what is this blog about?

I am a lucky ex Pom living Down Under teaching French (well) and Japanese (badly) in a lovely secondary school.  Although I am not really French- hence the title ersatzfrog, I adore all things French ( except the meat) I have lived in France when I studied Sciences Politques at Bordeaux University and then later in Paris when my husband was working there as an engineer.  I would love to share all my thoughts about French language and life with you.
