Appuyer mon travail
Thanks for visiting Lawless French! This website is now and forevermore free to one and all, but if you’d like to support my work, there are several ways you can do so.
1) Make a monthly donation (at least US$5)
This is the only way to obtain access to the intermediate-advanced mot du jour as well as additional awards like Francophone coloring pages, lessons on request, and private chats with me.
Start by creating your Lawless French membership, which is based on a WordPress account. This means that you can log in right here on the site to read the mot du jour.
Please, if you run into any issues, let me know so that I can figure out what’s wrong.
2) Become a paid Substack subscriber (€5 per month)
I send an every-three-weeks-or-so Substack newsletter called Lawless French à fond. I don’t currently offer paid vs free newsletters; it’s just another way to support my work, if you want to. And yes, it includes Lawless French membership so you get access to the Mot du jour as well.
These other options don’t get access to the mot du jour, but I sure appreciate them anyway! 🙂
3) Buy me a coffee
4) Make a one-time donation – choose your currency:
5) Buy me a book
That link goes to my wishlist, or if it’s easier, an Amazon gift card.
6) Buy my book French Workbook for Dummies
7) Send a check (euros or US dollars only, please) to my mailbox in the US:
Laura K Lawless

Miami, FL 33166
I’m so happy you’re here – I hope you enjoy Lawless French!

There’s no secret recipe for fluency; indeed, it’s difficult to even find consensus on what “fluency” actually means. Is it the ability to have a conversation, or language proficiency equivalent to that of a native speaker?
You probably know that 14 July is Bastille Day, but do you know what it’s called in French? (Hint, it’s not “jour de Bastille.”) Do you know the history behind Bastille Day, or how it’s celebrated in France? This page has links to everything you could possibly want to know.
