The French Menu (Have No Fear)

Cagna Restaurant

For me, learning to navigate a French menu has been a process. I know, just seeing the words “La Carte” a few years ago would send shivers down my spine.  What was I ordering? Would I make a mistake? Would I embarrass myself (my biggest fear)?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live outside of Paris?  I don’t mean in a little village where the boulangerie and cathedral are the village. No, I mean what it’s like to live just outside of Paris.  Why would you do that?

Bon Courage, Be Brave, You CAN Do It

Abbaye de Jumièges, is a significant historical site. Founded around 654 by Saint Philibert, it is one of the oldest and most important Benedictine monasteries in Normandy

As I continue my French journey, I speak/practice my French every opportunity I can get. I have found my efforts are appreciated and, in fact, there is surprise that I am trying to speak their language.  As a result, my tension is reduced and suddenly we are conversing……..

My French Journey – Join Me

Starting My Journey to Speak French

Have you ever wanted to converse in French over coffee?  Have you ever wanted to order your lunch in French?  Have you ever wondered if you could travel outside of Paris if you weren’t fluent in French?
The answer is a resounding YES!    I have the same goals with my French language journey.
