#Sign-up post: Summer in other languages

- During the pandemic 2020 I could not focus on my reading.
- 2021 has been completely different.
- I’ve discovered my French language skills again.
- After a year with NO French….it took me just one book to
- …tap into my vocabulary.
- French ..it is just like riding a bike
- ….get in the saddle and off you go!
- I discovered (…a bit late in a post on The Classics Club)
- this wonderful challenge that “has my name on it”!
- Lory at Entering the Enchanted Castle is running a new meme,
- Summer in Other Languages, which with its three levels of
- commitment encourages bloggers to read works in foreign languages
- other than English or at least in translation.
- To find out more, take a look at Lory’s post here
- This challenge runs officiallly from June 1 to August 31, 2021
- …I’m tweaking it to my circumstances 1 July – 30 September.
- I will read ONLY in French during these months.
