neverreallythoughtaboutthefuture:Saint-Sauveur, France (in the Dordogne département)Worth noting: The Dordogne is the one region in France (after Paris) with the highest concentration of British expatriates.The Bourdil Blanc (featured in the 3rd row) in Saint-Sauveur offers French immersions classes, and all of their teachers are native French speakers that can fluently speak at least 2 other spoken languages.Amusingly enough, one of their teachers is named Dominique.Perhaps Dominique Lapierre was a certified French teacher for native English speakers in Saint-Sauveur; who also knew Occitan (and maybe even Spanish; since Spain is very close to Dordogne, and Occitan is spoken in France, Spain, and Italy).And she shared her love for languages with her children; teaching them those she knew, as well as encouraging them to learn new ones and to always broaden their horizons.Perhaps she could have kept working as a foreign language (French) teacher when she moved to Alaska.Note: The last picture are the open air markets in Bergerac, at approx. 10,5km (6,5 miles) from Saint-Sauveur. Where Dominique’s father could have worked. Though not all the markets are open air, and he could very well have his own little boutique selling local products (for example).My headcanon has both Becket boys really loving languages - they’d definitely be raised bilingual in English and French, and we know Raleigh has a fair amount of Japanese. They’d have made a game out of learning the language/dialects of wherever Richard happened to be working.Knowing (or briefly googling) the locations of some major dam and power plant projects and what countries are more likely to bring in foreign engineers: continental Europe, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Canada, Argentina. -- source link
