Coucou les membres de la communauté,

Your presence and engagement made the event truly special, and I was thrilled to see so many familiar faces and new members joining us.
The thoughtful discussion and reflection on starting new French habits this year was both inspiring and motivating.
It’s clear that our community is committed to making 2025 a year of significant progress in French!
Build Lasting French Habits
As we embark on this new year, many of you expressed interest in developing lasting French habits.
The key to success lies in consistency and choosing activities that you genuinely enjoy.
I suggest starting small. One excellent habit I recommend is reading a French story from our site weekly.
(You can read and listen to the story at the same time by pushing the Audio sync view button on.)
This simple yet effective habit can dramatically improve your French comprehension, vocabulary, and even your communication abilities.
By exposing yourself to comprehensible French texts regularly, you’ll naturally absorb the language’s structures and flow.
Plus, our carefully curated stories cater to various interests and proficiency levels, ensuring that you’ll always find something engaging to read.

Master Essential French Expressions
My Dear Man & I are excited to announce our latest pronunciation video focusing on two popular French expressions:
“on y va!” and “allons-y!”
Both phrases mean “let’s go!” but are used in slightly different contexts.
“On y va!” is more casual and commonly used among friends or in informal situations, like when you’re ready to leave a café with your pals.
“Allons-y!” has a slightly more formal tone and can be used to encourage a group to start an activity or to politely suggest moving to a different location. For instance, a tour guide might say, “Allons-y!” to signal the start of a guided walk.
Say these phrases and incorporate them into your daily conversations, when you talk to your family or friends. They will be surprised you speak French to them, but it is a fun way to start gaining confidence speaking French!
