Wandering France is much more fun if you can speak and read French – even a little. As one who is incredibly self-conscious, I know how hard that can be. The more I hear French spoken, the more intimidated I get as I hear my voice quacking like a duck instead of sparkling and lilting like fine champagne. However, I did persevere and was rewarded with the most wonderful smiles and kindness – this in Paris in the summer! Merveilleuse.
Word-a-day is a subscription emailed to you three x week (yes, I realize it’s a contradiction, but something is better than nothing, right?). There are little stories, in English and French, which provide context and make it easy to pick up the words.
I just found out about this and will be doing it with you.
