Coucou les French learners,

I hope that cette lettre d’amour, this love letter finds you well.

Saint Valentin, le village des amoureux en France.

There are so many reasons why you should fall in love with French! The most obvious would be that French is the language of love. But why is French considered the language of love? Being French, I have always wondered…

It could be the accent, its distinct rhythm in which each word is pronounced. Watch why it is necessary to spend time listening to get used to the melody of the language.

There is also a long history of French literature and poetry associated with romance and love affairs.

Still not convinced? Take the plunge, have a date with French. You will fall in love with it for sure!

Review of the week

Ken commented:

This is great! For me it is beneficial to finally have sentences spoken word by word slowly. I’ve picked up a bad habit of trying to pronounce words a fast as I can which, I think, only hurts rather than helps. Even though I understand quite a bit, I’m going to start my journey here from Baby Stage #1 because the way I “learned” was to translate in my head instead of assuming another persona. I have a lot of “unlearning” to do!
