Bienvenue and welcome! I'm Michele Cherie. I'm a French and English teacher turned homeschooling mom to five children. Besides having a passion for all things French, I adore reading, running, and hosting exchange students, Bible studies, dinners, and book clubs. But if you're here, you're probably most interested in French resources. If you subscribe to my blog updates, I'll gladly e-mail you a list of my family's favorite French learning resources.
Francophone? Voici un peu au sujet de nous, grâce au blog High Five Family en France: Ils sont américains et parlent français à la maison.

About us:
My husband and I met in a Master's in Teaching program here in Oregon. He was born in Thailand but raised in the U.S. (and he didn't know any French before I began speaking it to our children!) We've been raising our children in Oregon but have had several long-term stays in France. We're moving to France this year to serve there! I speak French with our children (having learned some French in college, and by studying abroad in Provence and in Lyon, France). My husband speaks English with our children, but thanks to our bilingual household, he now understands a fair amount of French as well.
It's been fantastic to see our children become proficient bilinguals who travel well, make friends with diverse individuals, and understand a decent amount about the world’s cultures. We've also hosted multiple exchange students and an au pair over the past few years and that's been a fantastic cultural journey too!
I hope you'll join me here often. You can also follow me on Instagram or Facebook. Just a reminder: if you subscribe to my blog updates, I'll send you my family's favorite French learning resources! And if you want, you can message me via Facebook Messenger or add a comment to a blog post. A bientôt!
