Standard Set Answer:
Language is the unique property of homosapiens. It represents our identity as well as help us estbalish or develop our identity. As the world has become globalized, many people are travelling accros the globe. So, there is an indepth need to learn the basics, if not the details, of the world's language. Many of these travellers or surfers are not having enough time and money to go for real time classes in face-to-face settings. So, i believe we need to help each other by developing and spreading our identity as a source of communication.

I am doing research in biology as a post-doc in UPenn (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA). Before to come to Philadelphia, I did my PhD in the Pasteur Institute of Paris (France), but I am originally from Toulouse (France). My interest in p2pu comes from the desire to keep learning in a broad range of topics beside biology, as well as to get more involved in teaching. Furthermore, through p2pu, I want to help promote the core values of open-source, open-content and p2p, in education and beyond.

Standard Set Answer:
I am French, originally from Toulouse, but also lived in Paris, and would enjoy to teach French through p2pu. I am now living in the USA and have become fluent in English, so I can teach French to English speakers.
