Want to know what happens in France for the holidays? We begin a 4-part series on Christmas and all of the fun that happens in December; decorations, food, fun, expressions, and even a little on Yule and Hanukkah.
French from today:
Les fêtes de fin d'année: the holidays
Noël: Christmas
Samedi / Saturday
Vendredi / Friday
Le réveillon / Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve...the gathering part
La veille de Noël / Christmas Eve
Le sapin de Noël / Christmas tree
La crèche / the Nativity scene (the word is also used for daycare centers for babies)
Les chaussures / shoes (and only one is put out per person under the tree)
If you are looking for more French, check out our lessons for home and abroad. For families: French with kids. We help you create the space, time, and connections that bring French alive chez you, away from a screen. Delivered online, to be used face to face. Don't wait: speak today, the way that makes speaking another language as natural and useful as your native tongue. You are already having a blast with French with Kids? Chouette! Add in one of the following to bring your couple into full French communication too. Fill your ears, your vocal cords, and your life with French!
French at Home: a Conversation Be prepared for your next trip, do not wait one more day to "be ready". Now is the time: learn and practice request and response together and unplugged. Course for those who perhaps spoke French once upon a time and need to refresh and reinvent the language.
For beginners: French at Home: a Debut We walk you through it, request and response, short, to the point, and always relevant, building confidence, vocabulary, and the thrill of another language.
