Bonjour! For my inquiry project, I have decided to learn French! I am so excited to have this opportunity since I have always wanted to learn the language but never had enough time.  One of the main reasons I want to learn French is because, over winter break, I watched the TV show, Emily in Paris and instantly fell in love with the language, culture, and fashion represented in the show. Not only that but since I want to become an intermediate teacher in the future, French will be an asset.  I also love the history and aesthetic of France and would love to go to Paris and eat croissants and chocolate one day.

I do not know anyone that speaks French, so finding a mentor might be tricky. However, I have found different apps to aid me on my journey! The first being Duolingo, the app I used to study French when I was in grade eight. Duolingo is an app where you can complete daily challenges and learn vocabulary. There are many different functions on the app such as language forums, stories, and podcasts. I am also going to try to find more French shows to obtain the language that way. Hopefully, by looking at the subtitles and hearing the words over again, some of them will stick.

Stay tuned as I learn to Parle vous francais! was that right…
