I definitely #cantspeakfrench even though I did take French as a foreign language in high school...but I do love a good novel set on France. These are some recent reads. #melodicmay

What I learned from this book: if you move your kids to an immersive environment where eating real foods is the norm for all kids (such as France), they'll learn to eat real foods instead of just chicken nuggets. Too bad I can't move to France. The book is well-written, though, and there are some worthwhile suggestions for making mealtime less of a battle. #melodicmay #cantspeakfrench

#cantspeakfrench #melodicmay. Every so often I feel so guilty about being monolingual I buy a language book. 😂

Dragon Thanks @saresmoore if I would actually read them my French might improve 😂 8y

The only French word I know is oui, which means “yes,”
and only recently did I learn it‘s spelled o-​u-​i and not w-​e-​e.

Not the original quote I intended for #cantspeakfrench, but as I can't speak Greek either this will have to do! Original quote I think is in The Ladies' Paradise by Zola (I'm pretty sure there's a letter in there that hasn't been translated).
I can, however, speak a little Spanish! #melodicmay #day9
