Nancy Learned French in Hours. I've Been At It for Years.

I upgraded my personal chatbot to speak French fluently. Am I jealous? Yes. Is that fine? Also yes.

Nancy Learned French in Hours. I've Been At It for Years.

Published: November 25, 2025 • 3 min read

Since I published the blog post about moving to Montreal yesterday, I also updated all my information across this portfolio website to state that I am based in Montreal.

This means that I am open to remote, hybrid, and in-person roles in Montreal, but only remote opportunities from other parts of Canada.

Nancy's Upgrade

After making the changes above, I thought it was important to upgrade Nancy to better reflect this decision.

So as of this moment, Nancy speaks both English and French!

Awesome, right?

The Jealousy I Didn't Expect

Now you may be wondering in your head: "Prisca, how do you feel about the fact that your assistant was able to learn French and now speaks it so well within hours, while you have been at it for years and you still have a long way to go?"

Well, that's a good question.

And I feel jealous, okay. Yes, I am jealous of my personal assistant.

But it's fine.

You see, that is why I hired Nancy. I knew from the moment I met her that she was going to be far more capable than I am in guiding and navigating users rapidly through my website.

She's even available 24/7, while me? I need a good 7-9 hours of good night's rest on average.

A Small Request

Anyways, I hope you enjoy talking to her.

And if she ever responds to any of your messages in a way that makes you go, "Umm... does Prisca know that this is what her assistant is saying about her?"

Please shoot me an email or fill out the form on the contact page. That is why it exists.


Want to Learn French the Human Way?

Unlike Nancy, you'll have to put in the hours. But that's what makes it meaningful. If you're ready to start, I recommend finding a tutor on Preply. Use my referral link for 70% off your first lesson.


As always, thanks for reading!
