Laura wrote all of about.com&#8217;s French content in the years between 1999 and 2014. Then she decided to set up her own French learning resource site: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawlessfrench.com\/\">Lawless French<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/progress.lawlessfrench.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/files\/french\/blog\/2015\/07\/PwLFlogo.png\" alt=\"Progress with Lawless French powered by Kwiziq\" width=\"302\" height=\"49\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This terrific site now features a Kwiziq-powered section called <a href=\"https:\/\/progress.lawlessfrench.com\">Progress with Lawless French<\/a>, which adds <a href=\"\/\">Kwiziq&#8217;s A.I. Language Coaching<\/a> to her brilliant content. If you already have a Kwiziq login, you&#8217;ll be able to log in using that. Your French learning dashboard will look familiar and contain your existing data. Over time, we&#8217;ll be improving the integration of her content with our technology.<\/p>\n<p>We have developed a suite of tools to help the amazing language writers out there supercharge their content. We&#8217;ll be launching with more partners soon, so watch this space.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"features-for-teachers\">Features for Teachers is now live<\/h2>\n<p>We have also now officially launched the first of our <a href=\"\/features-for-teachers\">Features for Teachers<\/a>.  It&#8217;s called <a href=\"\/features-for-teachers\/studygroups\">Studygroups<\/a> and allows anyone who works with groups of students (teachers, tutors or even study buddies and Meetups) to manage groups of students.  You can see how the group is doing as a whole, and drill down into individual students.  We&#8217;ll be adding a lot more to this feature in the coming months, including the ability to set homework and study lists.  If you&#8217;d like to use this feature, <a href=\"\/contact-us\">get in touch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"crowdcube\">Kwiziq is about to raise money through CrowdCube<\/h2>\n<p>Our application to raise money through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdcube.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">CrowdCube<\/a> has been accepted and we&#8217;re nearing the end of lengthy <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Due_diligence\">due diligence<\/a> process prior to launching the campaign.  If you&#8217;d like to learn more, details are on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kwiziq.com\/\">Kwiziq&#8217;s main site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Crowdcube is the world\u2019s leading investment crowdfunding platform. Unlike shares purchased through some other services such as KickStarter, investors through Crowdcube own shares in the company.<\/p>\n<p>We have entirely self-funded Kwiziq to date and, while we&#8217;re very proud of what we&#8217;ve achieved, we now feel the time is right to accelerate with some seed capital.  As well as vastly improving the product, this will enable us to launch in Spanish.  It will also help us to add more content for advanced French students.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be posting more about this very soon!<\/p>\n<div id=\"kwiz-app\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-url=\"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/api\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-title=\"Test your French against the CEFR standard\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-return-url=\"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/summer-frenchtestin-happened-so-fast\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-return-title=\"Summer French Testin&#039; Happened So Fast ...\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-questionspercomp=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-token=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-template=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-kwizkey=\"sorter\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last few months seem to have flown as quickly as we&#8217;ve grown!
