Hello Fun English Fans, and welcome to the second FunLetter in April!
I’m very excited this month, because I am starting a huge Paris project at last! It is called “The Curious Connoisseur‘s Paris Masterclass“. I have always been fascinated by the streets of the French capital.
The architecture is extremely varied, from modern monstrosities like the Pompidou Centre, through beautiful art nouveau buildings and metro entrances to medieval palaces.
The history of Paris is deep and dark. The city has survived two world wars and has been home to kings and queens, emperors, revolutions and counter-revolutions. The number of people who have lost their heads here is… a lot – thousands and thousands!
I have been in Paris – more or less – for 30 years. That is more than half my life. So, now you know that I am not yet 60, but one day, I will be.
I love exploring the city with my camera. The famous cemeteries like the Cimetière du Père Lachaise and the Cimetière de Montmartre hold many secrets. There is even a tomb with my name on it!
The great Paris museums like the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay are full of wonderful paintings and sculptures.
There are lots of magnificant parks like the Parc Monceau and the Parc Monsouris, the Jardin des Plantes and the Jardin de Luxembourg. It is pleasant to take photos here on a lovely lazy sunny Sunday afternoon.
My favourite thing to do is walk around the different quarters like the Latin Quarter, the Marais and Montmartre. They all have their own character and there are surprises on every street corner, like a stunning mosaic or a headless saint or a chimney in the middle of a clothes store!
If you love Paris as much as I do, and would like to discover this incredible city with me, in English, you are welcome. Visit the special Curious Connoisseur’s Paris Masterclass page and let’s have a croissant and a coffee together in a cute little Paris café one day!
Have une journée formidable (a great day), everybody!

3) Adventures in Language 😄 🗯
➜ Learn interesting idioms, metaphors, proverbs, expressions and oddities
Do a cake? Make your homework? Do Love? No, no and NO!
We normally use make when we build something or create something:
‘I’ve just made some cakes – who wants one?’
‘Peter makes model aeroplanes at the weekend.’
When we are talking about jobs and work, as well as activities in general, we use do.
‘I do the cleaning on Saturday mornings.’
‘Jane does aerobics three times a week.’
BUT there are a lot of expressions in English with make and do which are not very logical; you just have to learn them!
Try to make the time for this exercise and let’s see how you do!
NOW: Try the full lesson on ‘make‘ or ‘do‘!

Quick Quiz – Answer
France has had two emperors, strangely named:
b) Two emperors: Napoleon I & Napoleon III
There was a Napoleon II, kind of. The problem was, he was only three years old when his dad, Napoleon I, was forced to abdicate, and it didn’t work out for him! Napoleon III was Napoleon I’s nephew.
Let’s make the English love go round!
