Hi Everyone, hope you all had a good Christmas break. We've had a few problems keeping to our schedule for the "French for Beginners" course, simply because the more we get into it, the longer it takes to create and edit the lessons.

We have decided that the only way to properly keep up the quality and regularity of the lessons, is to charge a small amount for each lesson from now on. :(

This way Alexa can spend more time focusing on the lessons, developing them and answering your emails etc.

With this in mind we have teamed up with the people at www.audible.co.uk (and .com) who will now be hosting all our downloads for adults and children ("My First French Lessons - Vol 1" for children is on there too).

The lessons will only cost ÃïÃÂ1.50 / $3 and a new one will be released fortnightly (and seeing that they are now over 40 minutes per lesson, this seems pretty fair - Of course, as always we welcome your suggestions and comments)

So PLEASE PLEASE keep learning with us. Here is the link that takes you straight to lesson 21 on the audible website.

CLICK HERE TO GO TO LESSON 21 ON THE UK AUDIBLE WEBSITE

OR CLICK HERE TO GO TO LESSON 21 ON THE US AUDIBLE SITE

Highlights of Lesson 21 include: a poem by Jacques PrÃïÃÂvert (1900-1977) called "Paroles" (which Alexa uses to conclude her section on "past participles"); correction of some of the listeners' emailed homework from previous weeks; and the introduction of a new topic: "reflexive verbs".
