What an adventure!
Don’t forget the fun in learning a language. I sometimes look at the work I’ve cut out for myself on this site and with other projects and think it can’t be done. I’ve got to stop. But then I remember the adventure.
There’s a lot of fun in learning a language. I love learning constructions and vocab and realizing that it’s possible to say so much more in French than previously. Hopefully your ear is improving with this site and your skills are advancing from other tools. It’s a mountain climb, with no real end goal. Just enjoy the climb, the hike, the adventure.
I’m not trying to lecture, just hoping to inspire. My goal with this site is to create a fun way to improve your ear while also inspiring you a little bit from time to time. Hopefully more often than not.

Je me lève et vois deux personnes au bas de notre arbre qui regardent notre cabane.
Ces deux personnes discutent à voix basse. Et je comprends qu’elles sont venues vérifier si tout allait bien.
Maintenant, je suis vraiment rassurée et peux enfin dormir jusqu’au matin.
Dormir dans les arbres, quelle aventure !
I get up and see two people at the bottom of our tree looking at our cabin.
These two people are talking in low voices. And I understand that they have come to check if everything is okay.
Now I am really reassured and can finally sleep until the morning.
Sleeping in the trees, what an adventure!
