Hi dear English reader!
My name is Lydie.
I'm an English teacher in France and I love English literature, especially books written by women! I am also the founder of Lydie’s Book Club, in which I host live readings of adaptations of classics of English literature and contemporary novels.
Once a week I meet the members of the book club via Zoom to discuss the chapters read over the week but we also talk about books in general and learning English.
When I was young learning English was very much focused on grammar and it never occurred to me that I could READ in English. Or at least, not until I could consider myself fluent. How wrong I was, how misinformed I was... It is only at the age of 23 that I started reading in English for the first time, it was for my own pleasure and guess what... I loved it!
When I became a teacher myself and learned about the power of storytelling in language learning and teaching, I knew I had to create something! With this book club my mission is to show you how much you can learn a language with books and practise your speaking through conversation!
Don't wait and sign up to the book club membership to be part of our beautiful community of English learners and book lovers! 😍 📚
