"He speaks fluent English, which is fortunate, because my knowledge of French, despite five years of study, doesn’t extend much beyond 'bonjour,'” Bramson said on his website, http://www.noambramson.org/2015/07/bonjour/. "It was a pleasure to welcome him here, and I hope someday to visit La Rochelle, which is, by all accounts, a beautiful community."
