Hi all – very sorry again for the lack of any updates of the last couple of weeks – I have been swamped with work – I have been relaunching one of my other sites – http://www.londontennis.co.uk.

However, I do have something which may be of use. This is something I have been intending to create for a while – a very simple flash card web page that can track your statistics over time. I finally got round to creating it and knocked it up in a couple of hours this evening – why I’ve been putting it off I don’t know.

It’s a similar idea to the box on the sidebar of this site.

Voilà…

Hello, bonjour, bienvenue and welcome to GreatFrenchSongs.com where I shall be writing about some of the best French songs I have encountered during my experiences while learning the French language. Immersing myself in French music has been a huge part in the learning process and in this blog I hope to share with you some of the great music I have encountered along the way.

iTunes has proved to be the best way to hunt down and sample French albums and has also proven, for me, to be the best way to organise my collection as it grew. It also has the benefit of allowing me to store the lyrics against each song which I can then view on my iPod, a little device which is now rammed packed with French albums, some of which have become some of my favourite albums of all time.

I intend, each day, to post a new song review and will try to examine the lyrics of the song, make sense of French expressions and produce a reasonable English translation. Although my personal taste errs towards heavy rock music, I love good music from all genres and this blog will reflect that.

The next time you hear from me I will be armed with a song.
