Random French

Bonjour, tout le monde! I am FINALLY back after a LONG leave! I hesitated for a very long time to post this episode all around driving because it was to be published around the same week the #blacklivesmatter movement started. Because this story is set in Africa and sheds a bit of a "funny" light on African ways, I wasn't sure I should publish it. However, this is my story, it happened over 15 years ago and I can't say for how things are now. I hope you will enjoy it for what it is: a personal little story all around driving. It is in no way my intention to hurt or offend anyone with this episode. // Full transcription is available on my website thefrenchcompass.com. // On a side note: can you tell I paid someone to do the editing, mixing and mastering of this week's episode? I'm honestly facepalming over not having done this sooner to spare your ears. My takeaway: stick to what you do best and let others do the rest! Have a wonderful weekend, the sun is still shining behind the rain clouds. Lisiane

Bonjour à tous, hope you're all well! This is a special story. Full transcription available on my website thefrenchcompass.com . As per your request, PDF downloads will be available soon. Stay safe, Lisiane

Bonjour tout le monde! I hope you're hanging in there during these crazy, crazy times. We're all looking forward for them to end and I hope that in the meantime you are finding smart ways to use this strange season for the best. Remember: This too shall pass! Sending you love, courage and especially HOPE all the way from Germany. Take care and God bless, Lisiane

Dear all, I'm truly sorry not to have an episode for you this week. I was hoping to get one out but I got ill and at the same time I have my hands full getting ready for a couple of major life changes taking place in the next few days and weeks - which I will tell you more about when things have settled. So, that's why I haven't had the time to create an episode. I hope to be back soon and wish you a lovely week. Oh, and I hope to have the Christmas audiobook out this coming week. I will keep you posted. Thanks for journeying along, I love having you "around". Lisiane
