Welcome to the new section of our blog, The Mail Bag. 

 This is where we’ll share stories from our listeners in the endeavors with French.   We hope stories from fellow students can help motivate and inspire you to begin learning French or give you that extra needed push and renewed sense of strength when you think it’s impossible to get become more proficient!

 Recently we had a contest giving away a FREE 12 month Premium membership.  Meet our winner, Holly:

“I have been studying French since high school and I have always been a bit of a Francophile. I have spent countless dollars on books, CDs, online subscriptions, etc. Although each element helps, I never really felt I could carry on anything but a basic conversation. Then I met my (French) fiancé, and after a whirlwind courtship, he whisked me away to France. The only problem in my story?

This is an ongoing project, so please share your stories!  You may send these to contactus@frenchpod101.com with the subject line: “Mailbag Story”.  Our favorite stories will win one month of free premium service and be posted here to be shared with others!
Keep studying hard!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from everyone here at FrenchPod101.com! We’re grateful to have listeners just like you, and we’re eagerly waiting for the upcoming year to learn French together!

And when the New Year comes around, be sure to make a resolution to study French with FrenchPod101.com!

Picture this. You’re out holiday shopping. You see a sign for 10% OFF. You feel like you’re getting a really good deal, so you rush into the store and make your purchase. You’re a happy customer.

2 days later…

You’re out holiday shopping again. You pass by the same store, and the sale sign doesn’t just catch your eye, it punches you in the face! 20% OFF! You’re not such a happy customer.

Sound familiar?

We’ve all experienced it. You buy something at a low price just to see it selling at a lower one the next day. Now the good deal we got suddenly doesn’t seem so good anymore. And you know what? It didn’t seem fair.

In fact, we think responsible people who act early should be rewarded.

And it’ll keep going down 1% each day that follows.

The faster you act, the bigger the savings!

December 17th - 20% off any basic or premium subscription.
December 18th - 19% off any basic or premium subscription.
December 19th - 18% off any basic or premium subscription.
