14.17 - Let's go to Brittany and let our hair down...
We learn how to pass the DALF C1 French language qualification, first time, while living in and loving Paris! + We explore food-waste in France + we head of to La Baule in Brittany... let's go!
Bonjour dear reader: friend, family, supporter, francophile… and perhaps you’re all of those things in one :)
This is your FREE le Bulletin, the weekly newsletter of MyFrenchLife™️ Magazine. I’m thrilled that you are here reading.
a) How to find new articles
I’m publishing new articles weekly in our Magazine—too many to feature here individually as I used to do…so… I’ve made a few changes to help you find the articles. You’ll now find these fresh articles by clicking the MyFrenchLife Magazine LOGO at the base of this newsletter.
Just 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?
Please let me know how you feel about the new format.
b) Thanking you in advance: I have a few questions for you as a reader… please do me a favour - it will only take you a few minutes :)
I would really appreciate your input.
And by answering these few straightforward questions you’ll help me better understand you and your desires.
Just click the ‘start survey’ button below.
And if you have other comments please use this button.
c) I’m also working to improve the newsletter for ‘le Bulletin’ valued paying subscribers—to give them a richer experience.
Paying subscribers are great supporters, each of them. I love sharing my work with them, I tell them what my plans are… what I’m wrestling with… what I’m loving… all behind-the-scenes successes and failures!
Now would be a great time to consider upgrading your subscription to enjoy those improvements, if you can do so. I would really appreciate it.
Merci.
