Chapter 4 in a nutshell
Bruno’s training with his aunt Astrid begins in earnest. She teaches him to read minds and to erase a memory, but never more than ten to fifteen seconds’ worth.
Bruno is so exhausted that he falls asleep in his stew, then fait la grasse matinée the next morning.
When he tests his new skill on real villagers, things don’t go quite as planned…
Come and find out tomorrow! 😉
🌟 A special congratulations to Mringle!
I would like to celebrate one of our members, @Mringle, who has answered nearly all of the Teen Progress questions in the comments.
What dedication! Writing in French a little every day is exactly how progress happens.
I particularly enjoyed her answer to question #29, “Si tu pouvais retourner dans le passé, dans quelle période historique voudrais-tu vivre et pourquoi ?”
@Mringle wrote:
“Si je retournerais en temps je voudrais visiter la Palace de Versaille pendant la reine de Louis XIV. Ce serait tres interessante voir comment les aristocrates vivaient. Je voudrais connaitre comment était Louis XIV.”
What a wonderful idea! It reminds me of our own conversation about time travel, and of Astrid, who tells Bruno that the one person she would love to meet in the past is Joan of Arc.
If you could go back in time, where would you go?

A free live session for those living in France
You’ve been studying French for years, and you still don’t feel like yourself when you speak French?
Our friend Céline Guerreiro of LanguageMate is going live on Zoom to show you how a French language partner can change that.
📅 Wednesday, November 18th at 6pm (Paris time)
An American man and a French woman will have a real conversation: ten minutes in French and ten minutes in English.
Céline will show you how they make progress from one conversation to the next.
That is what LanguageMate is all about: helping you turn connections into real relationships, with your language partner and with the French speakers in your everyday life.
✨ It’s free.
✨ There is no replay, so it’s a one-time chance to be there.
We can’t wait to read with you tomorrow.
With warmth,
Alice & Ben 💕
