She's American by birth and a permanent ex-pat by choice - freelancing made it possible for her to travel extensively and live in several countries before settling permanently in Guadeloupe. Laura is the creator of Lawless French, Lawless Spanish, and several other websites and books on French, Spanish, Italian, English, and vegetarianism. She spends most of her spare time reading, playing with food, and enjoying water sports.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.lawlesslanguages.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LauraKLawless\/","www.linkedin.com\/in\/lklawless"],"url":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/author\/lauralawless\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2747"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2747\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5656,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2747\/revisions\/5656"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2747"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/french.kwiziq.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=2747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
