Are you thinking about learning French but find yourself struggling to find resources that help you start speaking? When I started out, I certainly did. Many of the tools that I found when I started learning French were grammar-heavy textbook style resources and they didn’t offer me a lot in terms of day-to-day conversation.

So what happens when we have a...

When I started studying language on my own, there was one thing I avoided more than anything else. Speaking. As an introvert, it was the last thing I wanted to do.

At the time I spoke English and French fluently, had studied German and Italian and was starting to get into Croatian. I...
