PINTEREST SCHEDULER

DISCLAIMER

While I take every care to make sure my French and English are correct, I’m (unfortunately!) not exempt of making mistakes too. If I see them I will let you know in the posts.

If you’re a French teacher and you spot a mistake, please don’t stone me 😀 Feel free to send me a message, it would be much appreciated!
