š¼Hi friends! My name is Emma, I'm an English tutor and language enthusiast. I had some French-speaking guests coming in to visit so I thought it would be a good idea to take 7 days to brush up on my French (after a total of 2 years studying it over the course of 20 years, and a little over 2 years since I last used it), to make my guests feel more welcome by speaking their language. In this video, I break down exactly what I did in those 7 days, to customize my study plan for this specific occasion.
