Description
AFL MEMBERS: Join us for the Alliance Française de Louisville Book Club! This fall, we’ll be reading Pardon My French by Charles Timoney. This witty and insightful guide by Charles Timoney takes readers beyond the classroom and into the quirks of real French life. Pardon My French mixes slang, idioms, and everyday expressions with humorous anecdotes from the author’s own experiences as a British expat living in France. Far from a dry language manual, it offers a playful look at culture, communication, and the often-surprising realities of navigating French society. Perfect for language lovers and Francophiles alike, it’s a fun read that promises both laughs and “aha!” moments.
