#92: Bringing French to Life: Beauty, Culture, and Language with Madame Lee
In this joy-filled, beauty-soaked episode of The Feast Life, Julie Ross chats with Sue Lee, the vibrant educator behind French with Madame Lee. What starts as a post-trip debrief from Julie’s magical visit to Paris blooms into a rich conversation on language, culture, and Charlotte Mason-inspired education. Sue shares her journey from art history student to French teacher and homeschool mom, revealing how the beauty of French language and culture can feed the soul and become a meaningful part of a family’s homeschool feast—no matter where they live.
If you’ve ever felt intimidated by teaching a foreign language or wondered how to bring it into your home in a gentle, joy-filled way, this episode will leave you inspired, encouraged, and maybe even dreaming of croissants in a Parisian café.
Key Takeaways:
Sue shares how her art history class in high school opened her eyes to the beauty of learning. That passion now fuels her approach to teaching French as something that feeds the soul—not just checks a box.
By connecting French vocabulary to art, food, music, scripture, and culture, Sue helps families make deep, lasting connections that go beyond memorization.
Whether you know one French word or many, Sue’s approach welcomes moms and children alike to learn slowly, meaningfully, and joyfully—no stress, just beauty and progress.
Sue’s mini-course teaches correct pronunciation from the start with visual and auditory tools (like mouth position and repetition) that even seasoned French learners often miss.
You don’t need a plane ticket to bring French into your home. But as Julie and Sue share, keeping the dream alive through books, music, movies, and stories builds wonder—and you never know when the dream might come true!
