C'est parti.

Your challenge is on its way to your inbox. If it is not there in two minutes, check your promotions tab or your spam folder, and add my address to your contacts so the rest of the week arrives cleanly.

Two things before you start

  • Do Jour 1 today, not tomorrow. The hardest day of any challenge is the one you postpone
  • Record yourself reading the Jour 1 passage before you listen to my audio. Do not judge it, just save it
  • On day seven you will read the same passage again, and the gap between the two recordings is the whole point of the week
  • Say it out loud. Whispering does not train the muscles

And if the sounds turn out to be the part that trips you up, French Pronunciation 101 is where I take all of this apart properly, rule by rule. No rush. It will still be there on day eight.
