About Caitlin & Parlez Pals

Full time, I'm an indie author (penname Lily O. Laverick) but writing about my imaginary friends getting hurt doesn't pay bills unfortunately. 

So, while part-timing at a tea room, after being repeatedly asked if I would teach people French, I caved. I created a Facebook group, asked around, and soon I had my first meeting in said tea-room on a Wednesday afternoon.

I did not expect to have eight of us in that small room. I was so nervous, shaking and sick to my stomach but I did it. 

I had them introduce themselves in as much French as they could. Now I have more than twenty members in my in-person group (some consistent, some coming and going). 

Once home from that first session, the idea of a YouTube channel became a reality. I took my phone and notebook into the conservatory and just started talking to the camera.
