French language blog

Welcome to Lucy Spyrou’s French language blog!

Over the months, I will be providing you with a wide range of help, tips and best practices on how to learn French in an efficient manner. You will learn things that are not discussed at school due to time restraints (but vital for fast progress), or learn things that rarely appear in textbooks but can make all the difference to learning.

Whether you are a parent supporting your child with language learning for school, a novice, semi-fluent or just curious about the French language, there will be something here for everyone.
