The birth (or death) of a relative, the release of a new program, game, series, movie, the date you were dreaming about, could be anything

      No, these children aren’t French. They’re American!

      In all seriousness though, that’s amazing! I wish I knew another language.

        Cue the deep male voice saying

        “Je suis la jeune fille”

        French was my father’s first language so even though we were an English-first home, I had an excellent study buddy when I started studying French in middle and highschool. I was nearly proficient by age 18 but lost it once life took over. Fast forward 20 years and I wanted to make sure my child had the opportunity to speak with her pépère in his native language.

        So I spent 6 months mainlining Learn French and specifically Québec TikTok and fought like hell to rewire those old, decrepit neural pathways. You can get access to an incredible wealth of native content in manageable bites all tagged and categorized for free

        Ça marche!

          Merci. I’ve been putting it off for a while now and wonder if I can still learn fast in my 30s. I’ll try and get back to it
