Difficultés de croissance
Bonjour et merci beaucoup ! Thank you all for following me here to Lawless French, the new home of my efforts to share the beautiful French language with students and teachers all over the world.
I just want to apologize in advance to those of you who have subscribed to my newsletter. I’m writing lessons like crazy in order to get some foundational material up on the site as quickly as possible, and since my newsletter automatically sends every day that there is new content, you’re going to be receiving daily emails for the next week, at least. When I’ve got the basics covered, I’ll go back to my regular twice-weekly publishing schedule. I hope you can stick with me until then. 🙂
I’m far from ready for new lesson ideas, but if you have suggestions about the functionality / appearance of this site, please let me know. I’ve already darkened the font per one subscriber’s request.
Also, my heartfelt thanks to those of you who have chosen to make a monthly donation or buy me a book (or several, Mr. Skipper!) This support is entirely optional, and it means the world to me that so many of you offered it. My inspiration and energy are at an all-time high. Merci mille fois.
Bonne continuation !




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.
