ARE YOU EAGER TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART IN PARIS? READ THIS!

So, did you always want to speak French, but somehow work and family got in the way, and you didn’t follow your heart?

I was about to tell you some of my stories when I wasn’t ready to take a leap of faith. From my son who came into my life without asking for permission, to my moving to Canada adventure that was an out-of-body experience – I wasn’t ready.

But you and I both know that with some of the BEST things in life, you can’t control the timing.

In fact, amazing opportunities often show up way before we think we’re ready.

Read the article below, to find out from Aaron how you too can follow your heart, and watch the video for some French worth following!

(This week: the verb SUIVRE – to follow)

I’m going to share with you below a real story that one of my students sent me today, that will hopefully inspire you to follow your heart.

Aaron is one of the busiest people I know, moving across the country and raising his family, while taking on J’Ouellette® Intensif – he too thought that he wasn’t ready, but few short months later, he is grateful he consistently chose to follow his heart.

Here is the story, in his words…

“I had not studied or practiced my French in several years. I met an older gentleman from church who had lived in Germany and spoke fluent German when he lived there. He told me about how he let his language skills go and now cannot speak German at all.

Hearing this story prompted me to seek out a French class to pick back up my language skills and improve them. I wanted to take an online class due to the flexibility and not having to drive anywhere. In fact, I wound up moving 3000+ miles away from where I was living when I started and I have been able to continue on the same program.

My French skills have dramatically improved in the last months while working with Llyane. By working on a one on one basis with Llyane, she has been able to point out misconceptions about pronunciation and grammar that I have had since beginning to learn the language. For example how to pronounce “huit”, a word that I learned very early, but have been saying incorrectly and no one else ever corrected me!

Just today, I had a dream where I was speaking French to a lady on the phone planning a vacation.

I directly attribute this experience from my classes with Llyane.

What I like best is that Llyane is ways available to ask questions. Having a flexible schedule and the convenience of online classes. I can still get a weekly class in regardless of where I am.

Being able to speak my native language when necessary has helped immensely to understand grammar constructs that I did not understand previously. It has also helped me in pronunciation like in the word “coudre” where “cou” rhymes with the English word “who”.

Having weekly lessons with Llyane has helped to keep me on track to learn French.

Even when I have an extremely busy week and don’t have much time to practice I always have our hour together each week.

My first child was born four months ago. It’s my hope that he will learn to speak French as well. Because all languages are foreign to him, we watch French children shows together like Rue Sésame, Caillou and Monde des petits. It’s a special time for us together and I even pick up lots of new vocabulary. Having Llyane there to ask questions about things that I read or watch and getting further clarification has been invaluable.

If you consider learning french with Llyane and are hesitant, I’d say to you: Do it! Llyane is an excellent coach, and having an online course can fit into your schedule!

If you are someone who wants to maintain and improve your French language skills, especially if you are in danger of losing the skill that you have already gained, you shouldn’t delay for any reason. Llyane is an excellent teacher and available when you need her the most. I’ve experienced a dramatic improvement in my confidence.”

Time and time again, I’ve seen that every successful person I know starts before they feel ready.

I’m sure that some of your best decisions have come because you bypassed your fearful “I’m not ready yet” thoughts and, instead, choose to follow your heart.

If you’ve been on the fence saying, “I’m not going to register this time because I don’t feel quite ready yet,” I strongly encourage you to join us now. You can register now and start later – don’t leave this program out of your life.

You must find the courage to rise up above your fear and just do it.

I wish for you that “your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears” – like Nelson Mandela reminded us, and you should never forget to do it. I heard this from one of my most beloved teachers, as I too learn all the time, and now I say the same thing to you.
