All things

What is it about French?

​

We romanticize it. We give it incantantory powers. We idolize it.

​

That's what all those soft rounded and nasalized vowels between voiced fricatives and guttural r's can do: they charm you, they delight you, they mesmerize you.

​

But this power is within your grasp to learn, too.

​

French and English are distant "cousins" once removed. During the Norman Conquest, it was the official language of England for a hundred years. It definitely left its mark on English.

​

So, get re-acquainted with this long lost "cousin" and its quirky ways.

French is fun! On va s'amuser! Let's have fun learning some!
