This book is all about basic French. This includes the words, how to use them and their grammar. I'm still editing this book because I am planning to apply as a French teacher here in the Philippines one day. Please proofread my work and if you see anything wrong, please tell me so I can fix it. I am not a native French speaker but I have been learning this language for 15 years. Format:English Word - Different French Words French Word (How it sounds like) - Literal Translation WARNING: THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR THE FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED I'm using American / Filipino phonetics. So, pronunciation that you could see varies. For example is bonjour... if you will say bonjour in America or in the Philippines it sounds like bon jooRRRrr. People give emphasis to the "R"...It should be soft. A normal person who is not from France cannot pronounce the R softly. This is why it is slightly omitted in the phonetics i provided to balance with the language we could speak. Just like the word water. In America it sound like "wotr" we say it fast with almost a silent e. but in British it's "woo-tah" and in french it sounds like "what-ter". I tried my best to decipher the best phonetics so it would sound more french or almost the exact replica of saying it based on Filipino / American accent. If you think it is totally different, you could PM me and we could discuss about it thru skype. (Best viewed in mobile) Created on July 9, 2015 - Sept. 15, 2015 Updated on May 14, 2020 - ongoing

If you're one of the quiet kids, and you like it that way, then you're not alone. So, what even is an introvert, you ask? Most of you probably heard this word at least once before. My guess is that if you have heard the word introvert, you may have heard it used to describe someone in a negative way. You might know an introvert as someone who is quieter or not as outgoing, but there is a little more to it than that. People often mistake introversion as shyness, social anxiety, or a mental illness, but introversion is actually none of these things. It is simply a personality trait. You can be an introvert and still be a happy, confident person. A lot of well-known people were introverts, like Einstein, Abe Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, and even Lady Gaga (Yes, I said Lady Gaga). This book focuses on what my experiences as an introvert have been so far, and the positives of being an introvert. It also gets into some psychology and mental health. Coming from a shy person, I also hope to talk about how to deal with shyness and build self confidence, even though being shy and introverted aren't exactly the same thing. So come join the party! *Ahem* Sorry. I meant to say, come join the small, quiet gathering.
