Je
m'appelle Michael Rinkert. I'm excited to be working at Ranch View and really
looking forward to having a great year with all my students.
A
little about me? I started learning French waaaay back in middle
school and continued learning it through high school and college. After
I received my bachelor's in English Literature and French from CU
Denver, I took a job to teach English in France. For the next two
years, I lived in St. Etienne, France where I got to eat snails, frog
legs, duck liver, pig intestine, and blood sausage all while working in a
middle school and a high school teaching French students English.
After
returning I've worked for a number of companies using French for
marketing, translation, sales, customer and technical support. Even
though I enjoyed what I was doing, I wanted to return to teaching. I
returned to CU Denver to get my teaching license and haven't looked
back. Prior to Ranch View, I've taught in a number of schools and worked
with students from every continent of the world except Antarctica.
Someday, I'll teach the penguins too.
