Hello fellow Worldly Romans—

Welcome to the second Edition of The Worldly Roman. Thank you to each of the authors who contributed to our highly successful inaugural edition.  We received rave review from the Latin Community and are excited to continue our mission of providing an outlet for members of the Latin community to express themselves in various languages on a broad range of topics.

Congratulations to all the new editors!  Philip Demeulenaere is the French Features Editor, Yulissa Arroyo is the Spanish Features Editor, Catie Rose Pate is the Chinese Features Editor and Julius Reiner is the Latin Features Editor.  In this edition, among other things you will learn about the Festival de la Francophonie, Le Baccalauréat and how to make Kung Pao Chicken.  We also feature an article about François Hollande, president of France, and his affair with an actress.

We publish The Worldly Roman quarterly.  While you are off to exotic places near and far over Project Week, be it Cambodia, Morocco, Mexico or even here in Chicago, please think about writing about your adventures for The Worldly Roman.   Articles for the next edition will be due in April.

Happy Reading,

Bonne Lecture,

Feliz Lectura,

Lectio beata,

快乐阅读,

Natalie Braun, Editor–in-Chief
