🇫🇷 *Confession Time: Calling ALL Francophones to My Support Team!* 🇫🇷

Okay, okay… so... funny story.

I've just spent weeks building #FrenchStack™, writing French descriptions, crafting French notes, trying to sound all sophisticated and francophone...

And here's the truth: I'm not a native French speaker. My French is honestly pretty average. And I make mistakes. Regularly.

Oops.

But I am a perfect target for this library - I need it ;)

But you know what? I've decided I'm not going to hide this. Instead, I'm going to do something a bit radical: I'm asking for help. Publicly.

To ALL francophones - yes, that includes you @jenhartsmith @honorevousguide @afrenchtable1 @chapitre @geraldinedormoy @laurentfrancois @femmesriches @frenchenpoesie @frenchwithamelie @parlezperfect and every francophone who stumbles across this post:

Congratulations!

You're now part of my "#Francophone Support Team", yes, you!

(I know, you didn't sign up for this, but here we are! and… I need you ;))

Here's the deal:

When you see my French attempts - whether it's a post, a description, a note - and you spot:

- A silly mistake

- An awkward phrase

- A better way to say something

- Anything that makes you think "hmm, that's not quite right..."

Please just... tell me. Right there in the comments or notes.

I'm serious. I won't be embarrassed. I'll be delighted!

Because here's what I've figured out: when you help me publicly, you're helping every French learner who reads it. They see the correction. They learn the right way. We all improve together! 👏 👏 👏

Plus, honestly? Our #FrenchStack™ library will look a lot more professional when native speakers have polished my attempts!

So what do you say?

Will you be my French guardian angels?

My grammar police?

My vocabulary validators?

To everyone else: settle in. You're about to get some excellent French lessons courtesy of my mistakes and the generous corrections by others!

Ready? Allons-y!

🇫🇷 #FrenchStack™ - where we learn together, mistakes and all…

Warm regards

Judy
