About the Author

Clare Jones was born in the North of England in 1960. She fell in love with the French language at the age of 11 and went on to study it to degree level at Leicester University, where she also became a qualified teacher. In 2011 Clare collaborated with Tamsin Edwards to produce an iPhone application, "Figure out French, Rouler un patin to give a French kiss and other French expressions for leisure and health". Though she now lives in England, Clare always has her nose in a French book and she surrounds herself by all things French. She is currently very busy teaching French as a private tutor and when she finds time, she writes a blog on the subject of the French language. She is very active on Twitter. Clare enjoys swimming, tai-chi and cycling in the local country park.
