The Barefoot Blogger, aka Deborah Bine, loves to share tales of her solo life in France as an American expat who speaks no French. Retired from a career in advertising and marketing communications, and divorced after a 40-year marriage with children, Deborah left Beaufort, South Carolina and all of her belongings last year to move to the south of France.

    Hi Deborah

    You may also want to try DUOLINGO – it also is quite interactive but has a ‘grammar’ section that you can click on if you want to know why you may have got the sentence wrong . Good vocabulary builder. I use both MindSnacks and DuoLingo
