Hello Maud

You don't have to be stressed about your decision. You're a hardworking woman to help many people learning French or English with fun, so of course your work deserves a salary.

It's not a problem because we have the choice to subscribe it or just follow your free contents.

Be proud of yourself and keep it up 🥰

Dear Isabelle,

Thanks a million, honestly I really struggled with the decision ,in my ideal world education should be for free but then in my case, it was not sustainable ;) I also need to pay rent and buy food so I was caught by economics of life. And yes, there is always my free content on various social media and on Substack too. Thanks a lot for your kind words, à bientôt, Maud

Maud, Oh how I wish we could take away the past week of stress! You are a treasure and we thank you for all you do to help us learn French with a smile. You are by far the person I enjoy following the most. It makes a lot of sense to split the newsletter into a free version and an additional benefit for paying subscribers. I follow many people on Substack who do the same thing. Your time is worth so much. Please feel reassured in your decision. Have a great week!

Dear Lauren,

Thank you so much, its been a difficult decision to make but as I did not want to do partnerships with companies, well, at some point, I need also to make a living for me and my daughter😌. Your lovely comment made my day and is encouraging me to do even more and always better,

Let's get to the next adventure and always with a smile

Bon lundi et à bientôt,

Maud

I think it is wonderful you have a subscription now. You put a smile on my face every day. I am 65 and an expat retired in France trying to learn French. You have helped me so much! Your stories are a bright spot in my day, and I look forward to your Sunday newsletter and now your videos and podcasts. Merci beaucoup.

I love your content & the way you present everything with a smile! Your excellent content is worth paying for, but I’m not clear what will still be free & what will require payment? You don’t need to be worried, just let us know the facts and each person can decide what works for them.

Merci beaucoup pour cette newsletter. Bien sûre votre traivaille est três précieus et vous aller gagner votre vie avec ça. Je vous souhaite bonne chance et nombreuses abonnees.

Sorry, my french is not good, I‘m just learning a lot through your videos. I love your charming and personal way to bring this language to me and I see it’s working for me. Even if I‘m not able to subscribe to any payments I really hope you get a lot of happy and friendly subscribers. Your work is worth it and there is no need to be shy. Anyone needs money to make a living and it’s a shame that many of us women don’t believe our work should be payed. Yes, you are worth it!

So, all the best and many thanks for what you offer.

Brigitte from Germany
