Bonjour
This is your FREE le Bulletin, the weekly newsletter of MyFrenchLife™️ Magazine. I’m thrilled that you are here reading this newsletter.
You’ll notice that I’ve made some changes. There are so many wonderful things to read in these newsletters that in this format I hope it will be less overwhelming and easier for you to access the articles on MyFrenchLife Magazine.
Now the new articles are at the base of the newsletter - See the MyFrenchLife logo, below.
One-click and you’re there - ready to discover all the new articles, instead of clicking back and forth for each article… phew, exhausting, confusing…non?
Let me know how you feel about the new format.
I’m also making changes to the valued paying subscriber newsletter, to give them a richer experience. So now would be a great time to consider upgrading your subscription to enjoy those improvements.
Now, let’s have a look at what’s happening this week…
