Annick W. Historia

I’m a 72-years-old french lady. My husband is french too, and more fluent in english than I am. He enjoys my gymglish lessons just as much as I do. We are very fond of the Southwest of the US. With international friends, we exchange in english about pictures posted on the famous website 500px. My english speaking level is enough to survive in any situation, but I still need to progress in my understanding of the english of native speakers. I can’t imagine travelling without exchanging with the people I meet. I discovered Gymglish in April/May 2020, while we were under lockdown and never missed any lesson. I am really fond of their offer. The methods are original and attractive, the stories are really funny and interesting, connected with many topics such as history, society, and the knowledge of various countries. These lessons are the result of artists’ work (designers, singers, bi or even trilingual teachers I guess). Each morning I open my computer and have a look at the daily story. I then leave it for a while and come back several times during the day. I try to answer the questions, sometimes I check in one of my grammar books, I also exchange about it with my husband. Each time we hear Radio Rhubarb’s jingle, we know we are in for a lot of fun. I also love the vocabulary dictionary, in which I can add what I wish. It i then easy to read it anywhere with the dedicated app on my smartphone. The Delavigne Corp is awesome too. We have become familiar with the many characters of its story. It’s a pleasure to meet the large panel of actors in so many situations. I love the different accents and I must tell you Jean Marron’s awfully french accent gives me a strong motivation to try to do better. My secret ambition is, one day, not to be detected as a French person when discussing with English or American people. Well, I’m not out of the woods yet. I really love this daily meeting and I have just taken a new subscription, valid till April 2024. Annick Walter (a.k.a. Nonna)
