Is that French?

Throughout my posts I provide links to native French-language sites as well as links to dictionary and bi-lingual dictionary type sites. Occasionally, very occasionally, I will link to other English-language sites with information about French or France. When I do, the nature of the site will be clearly explained in the blog post.

Since I try so hard to direct you to native French-language sites, you will often find yourself on sites that are not designed for foreigners or that are not even designed for language learners, but I believe that this is the best way to learn. Why just learn about a language when you can dive right in?

French, it’s not just for France:

French is a beautiful language spoken by many people in many different accents with many different local variations around the world. However, I know far more about European French and about France than I do any other variation of the language or any other French-speaking country, so you can safely assume that most posts are France-centric.

Whenever I do explore another part of the French-speaking world with one of my posts I will always label it accordingly. Check the Categories list to view posts specific to Canada, Haiti, Belgium, etc.

What do you want to see here? Do you want to know what the pronouns “y” and “en” have to do with donkeys? Or are you confused by that pesky subjunctive? Maybe you’re just curious why you saw hordes of people on rollerblades your last night in Paris. Post your questions!
