Hi! I'm Carmen, and I love to learn. I grew up in Canada, where we learned French in school, but I stopped using it once I graduated. What led me back? An autism diagnosis, actually. My son's language skills were quite far behind "normal", so we had testing done. After working with professional Speech-Language Pathologists for a few years, we looked at school options closely. We decided to enroll him in the local francophone school, even though we are anglophones. (We qualify because my mother-in-law speaks French as her first language!). In these past 2-3 years of self-study, I've mastered some basics and have a decent vocabulary to work with. I need a new direction and guidance as I jump from using "beginner" resources to "intermediate" ones.
