Who's behind this

Not a teacher. A learner.

Hi, I'm DeeDee.I'm not a French teacher. I'm a learner who loves marketing and new tools, and AI is new to me too. So I'm learning two things at once: French, and how to build things. This course is where they meet. Every trap in these lessons is one I fell into first, and every memory trick is one that finally made something stick.
Built with AI, checked by the book.I build these lessons with AI as my co-pilot, and I don't just take its word for it. Every lesson is checked against a published French grammar reference before it goes up. Nothing here is made up as we go: I'm learning right alongside you.
