Here’s a Sentence You’ll Never Hear Me Say Again

“I’m in Canadian Living magazine.”

Back in early February, I wrote about taking French lessons and an idea I had for an educational Web site. Somebody who knew somebody read it, and I was contacted by the writer who was writing an advertorial (big JPEG ahead) for Les Rendez-vous de la Francophonie, an nationwide series of events “celebrating the French language, culture and community throughout Canada.” The advertorial is about Anglo-Canadians learning to speak French. So, we did a little phone interview, and I sent her some photos and there I am in the April issue. I took those photos myself, with a timer. C’est bon, n’est-ce pas?

Not bad, not bad! Are you just starting to learn French, or have you been working on it for a while? I’m tempted to take it up, myself.

Lire des blogues écrits en français est une excellent manière de se familiariser avec la langue.

You’ll find a lot of blogs in French (or bilingual) here:
