Hi Laura….wonderful website. I am enjoying the quizzes and information. A great way to keep learning. Thanks. I will be back for more!
I would like to support LF by buying Intermediate French for Dummies but Amazon does not seem to allow payment via Paypal. Is there a way around this?
Bonjour Bruce,
Thank you for offering to support this site by buying my book. To purchase on Amazon, I think you’d either need a Paypal debit card or Paypal gift certificate.
Bonjour Laura. I would love to have access to your intermediate/advanced mot de jour. Is there an option to pay for an entire year up front by mailing you a check (in U.S. $)? If so, could I get the address to mail it to, who to make it out to, and any other info I would need? Merci mille fois for the great work that you do. I’ve been a fan since way back in your French About days. Respectfully, Steve Davis
Bonjour Steve, thanks so much. 🙂 There is a workaround, I’ll email you.
Merci beaucoup de Afrique du Sud pour le mieux site pour apprendre la langue français
I find myself coming back again and again to your excellent lessons and would love to send a check. If you could send me an address, I’ll mail it out. Thanks again for all the work you put into creating this outstanding website.
Merci beaucoup Gary, I’ve emailed you. Bonne journée ! 🙂
Bonjour
Merci beaucoup pour un site juste, si riche et bien organisé!
Bonjour Claudine – je vous en prie ! 🙂
Chère Laura,
I have been an avid reader of your site for simply ages, perhaps years! I can’t thank you enough for all the excellant information that you post so regularly for people like me to devour.
I have just bought the Intermediate French for Dummies and can’t wait for it to be delivered.
Cordialement,
Claire
Merci bien Claire, I hope you like it. 🙂
Thank you Laura, your site is a big help for me. I too would like an address to send a check si possible. Merci encore
Merci Chacal! Please check your email. 🙂
I need the address where I can send my donation cheque in Euros for LKL.
I also need the name for whom I will make out the cheque. (LKL ?)
Thank you for clarifying the misteries about CE QUI, CE QUE, CE DONT.
None of the expensive “CLE International” books properly explaines them.
I understand the French books I read quicker and rather better now after I digested your lessons about them. ( I do not exagerate, that is true.)
Thank you.
Merci Aydin! I’ve emailed you. 🙂
Bonjour Mme. Lawless,
Je voudrais que vous sachiez, on utilise votre site du web chaque jour dans ma classe de français. Français est une vraie passion pour moi dans la vie, et je continuerai mes études en utilisant vos ressources. J’apprends la langue depuis 8 ans maintenant et je parle avec quelques gens français pour que je puisse m’améliorer. Merci pour votre travail — et créant ce site du web, ainsi que votre aide sur «about.com». Merci encore!
Thank you so much Laura! I used to use your guides in about com a lot, and I was aided alot in my french grammar and verb tenses. When I found out that you weren’t on about com anymore I was so shocked, because the website isn’t the same without you. I was so happy to find that you have your own website now, and I can finally access all the verb conjugation tables easily, with all the tenses organized beautifully in one page. Makes life so much easier. Thank you again!
Hi Ms. (F)Lawless,
You have helped me more than you could imagine in my three years of French. I made an account so I could thank you for allowing me to improve my comprehension and speaking abilities in this beautiful language. I have one question though. What does the K. stand for in your name?
Bonjour Jack,
You’re very welcome!
The K stands for Kismet. 🙂
Bonne continuation !
Hi – Thanks so much for helping me with my French. I have lots more to learn, so I would like to contribute to help you stay motivated with your endeavors. Maybe eating well is a way to do that. Is the hard cover vegan book from Amazon OK? Also need your address to send it to. After you get it and try some of the recipes, I would be interested in your opinions, possibly as an audio in French. Merci beaucoup.
Bonjour Tony,
You’re welcome, and thanks for offering to buy me a book! Amazon has my address, so if you order it through my Amazon wishlist, they’ll send it to me.
I have a veggie website where I put all of my favorite recipes and review cookbooks: https://www.theveggietable.com
Bonne continuation !
I absolutely love your new website especially the listening practices. Where do we send our donation?
Bonjour Joan,
Merci bien – glad you like it! The easiest way to send a donation is via Stripe using the link above. If you’d rather send a check, please let me know and I’ll email you my mailing address.
Bonne continuation !
On behalf of my students, I thank you for all you have done to promote French in the US. I require my students to subscribe to your (old and now new) site. I wish you luck in this new adventure which will certainly be successful.
Your work is greatly appreciated; reading and studying your newsletters and language tips have become a daily event! Merci beaucoup
Après quelques années de votre ancien site, je vous souhaite bonne chance. J’ai acheté un livre de votre liste. Merci.
I really love these little tidbits of knowledge…they are a great stepping stone to my goal of daily learning and studying of the French language. I already speak Portuguese, and have struggled to keep the two languages separate in my mind. But, I moved to Switzerland 6 months ago, and have a strong desire/obsession to learn French. With 6 children, it can be hard to find the time, but your website makes a fabulous supplement to my weekly French classes. Thank you!
I really like how you do the Reading Practice, with the blurred translation. It’s an excellent way for me to learn. Merci beaucoup!
Hi Laura…thank you for all the French lessons and tips through the years. I’m looking forward to following your new site! I’m also happy to be a pledging supporter to help enable your most excellent work!
Merci vous!
Keep up the great work Laura. I have been using your work on about com for many years and I am now living in France. Still have much to to to improve my french and am looking forward to using your new site.
Dear Laura,
A massive thank you for all you did on the previous site 🙂
It is wonderful to see you here with your new site and I wish you all the success & happiness you deserve. I loved how you answered me personally when I emailed you a question a while back and that you really care about the people you teach.
Your new site looks really exciting and amazing already!! I can’t wait to continue following you on here and expanding my knowledge of the beautiful French language and also the culture of France too.
P.S. I tried to buy one of your ‘wish list’ books but I only have a UK Amazon account and it wouldn’t let me purchase on the ‘.com’ one!!
Merci et bon courage, Janet.
Bonjour Janet,
You’re very welcome, and thank you! I’ve been pouring a lot of time into this site for the last week to make sure that there’s a little something for everyone. Another week or so and I’ll feel pretty good about settling down into a more sustainable pace. 🙂 Bonne continuation !
Je vais essayer de vous écrivez en français.
Merci pour tout ce que vous nous aviez donné pendent les année à About French. On peut dire que c’est beaucoup plus qu’un boulot pour vous. Vous avez l’amour de la langue.
Merci et bonne chance!
Ditto to all the other messages of thanks and appreciation. Love your books and your new website. Merci and bonne chance.
Horrified when I read your au revoir! but phew, you are still here for your followers. Thanks and good luck. Your website looks wonderful.
It’s is great to see that so many people admire your work as much as I do. Like all great teachers, your make your subject interesting. If you ever offer French Immersion classes in France, I’ll be there.
Bonne chance et meilleurs voeux.
I recently discovered you and love your site. I will continue to enjoy what you do.
I have been with you for many years, from Morocco to Costa Rica to both parts of France and now to Guadaloupe, and through it all have studied French with you. But I have also enjoyed reading of your travel exploits and hope you continue to write about your travels in the future and post a link on your new website. You know, in case you get a bit bored in teaching us French.
Merci beaucoup, Laura.
Thank you so much for all your lessons a life saver for me.. I will follow to your new site!! Merci beaucoup! Maria
My heart sank when i read your goodbye…. but not for long as i see you are to continue…. you have been a great help in my understanding of France and French …. vive les leçons!
Laura, these French lessons are the absolute best of any language instruction in any language I have ever seen. Thank you. I hope the links will still be available on french about com as they are a treasure. On the chance that these lessons will disappear can they be permanently be saved on MY computer as opposed to my (Yahoo) email and About’s cloud?
Bonjour Lawrence, et merci ! I don’t know for certain, but I’m pretty sure that About will keep my site intact.
Thank you Laura, I am full of admiration for all your enthusiasm and teaching. With best wishes from Gladys in South Africa.
Hi there, for a moment I thought that was it and ‘no more LKL’ – thank-goodness you are continuing, albeit in a different guise! Looking forward to seeing what comes next. Bonne continuation.
Many thanks for everything you provided on your previous website, a fantastic resource. Best of luck with this one, I will be following it for sure.
Hi,without your help and explanations I would still be totally phased by the French language.Little by little the old grey matter has been retaining the rules and baffling complexity of the subject.
Will subscribe to your new exciting venture.
Thanks Laura for all your teaching and all the very best for your new venture – I will miss you too. Tim
Good luck for your new venture. I have enjoyed and greatly valued your lessons in the past and hope to continue to connection
Thank you so much for everything so far! I cannot tell you how much your lessons have helped me!
I will follow you no matter where you go 🙂
Merci infiniment et une excellente journée à toi,
Alina
Your French teaching has been a lifeline for me as an American living and working in France. I have been living in France for more than 13 years — the problem is that I’m an English teacher, so I speak (and hear) English all day long. Thank you so much for your incredible work!
You’re brilliant and I’m pleased to follow you into your new journey.
I’ve enjoyed your site for years! Thank you so much for all your good work. Hope this new site will be a great success.
Thank you so much for the great lessons ! Bonne continuation !
Parce que grace à vous, j’améliore mon anglais, mes expressions idiomatiques et mes traductions, je vous suis! Bon courage pour cette nouvelle aventure, on est tous avec vous!
Oh my goodness, big change! I will miss your wonderful emails but of course will follow you over here!
I am so excited!! I am so happy for you, I don’t know which buttons to push! Thank God for you and the fact that you are still communicating. Do sign me up for subscribing; my email would not be the same without you, Dr. Lawless. Hey, I need my daily dose of a touch of french! Sweet! Eva Lorraine Ernst
Many, many thanks for the wonderful resource you have provided and I wish you every success in your new venture.
Even from here down under in Australia I’ve followed your weekly dose of French with great pleasure, and I wish you will continue to be just as wonderfully successful in your new website.
Thank you for making learning French so interesting. Best wishes for all you do.
Bonne chance!
Laura,
I “discovered” you my first year of teaching French. Your site was a lifesaver as I went about trying to drag up what I hadn’t done anything with for 40 years! How ironic—poetic almost—that you’re heading off in a new direction just as I, too, am leaving the area of my “major” love to make room for a much younger, more orally fluent teacher. I’ll still be “visiting”, though. I love French and I love to learn! Bonne chance!-Leslie Paterson
I will continue to follow you. You are my favorite French teacher! Keep up the good work.
B
I’ve been subscribed for 6.5 years! Wishing you the best in your endeavors!
Hello Laura and so many thanks for all that you have taught me on your previous website over many years. I am glad that you sound happy in striking out on you own and I will certainly follow you where
you go.
All best wishes to you,
Judith Samson
C’est prèsque impossible d’apprendre le français sans vous. Bonne chance et un grand merci!
I have enjoyed your newsletters and lessons on About com and will miss your presence there. Good luck with your new venture. Bonne chance.
Bonne continuation et je vais continuer a apprendre avec le nouveau site. Merci.
Looking forward to learning more french. Merci beaucoup
Bonne journée
Change is good. I will follow you wherever you go.
Success in your new venture. You can bet I’ll follow you to this new site. Just assumed About com was sort of magic in supplying info on multiple subjects. It’s real folks supplying their expertise!
Looking forward to learning more French from this site.
I wish you well and look forward to spending many edifying hours here.
Mercy buckets (!) for your love of language, and for sharing your knowledge and passion with us. Keep the spirit alive – we’ll stay committed.
BTW, I have sent you a gift from Amazon from your Wishlist – enjoy!
Merci beaucoup ! 🙂
