Coucou le team!
Reminder: 🇫🇷 The Assimil Attitude
This entire project—the whole French with Amélie schtick—was inspired by the structure and content of the Assimil language learning books →. Some of you will have heard of them I’m sure. My plan initially was to update it for the 21st century!
Staying relaxed, not allowing grammar to disable learning, consistent colloquial practice, keeping things simple. These are all the principle I first learned from Assimil!
And I’ve been meaning to post up the short introduction → from their beginner French book for the longest time ie. how they recommend you actually learn French. And I finally got round to it (been spring cleaning the site the last few days).
It’s a treasure trove, and it translates almost perfectly to how best to use my teaching. If you want a summary of what this newsletter and my teaching is all about, this is it!
