To register please click here.\n  \nThe link will take you to a Microsoft registration form. Please note that given the limited capacity\, it is extremely important that participants let us know at least 48 hours in advance if they are canceling\, so we can allocate the resources to someone else on the waiting list. \n*By clean we mean no snow\, no sand\, no gravel\,  no salt. \n \n

SUMMARY:Online Kahoot: French expressions
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhen learning a new language\, it is inevitable to sometimes get lost in translation. My beginnings in French were quite hilarious and often embarrassing\, but at least it made me giggle. I remember that at first\, I used to think that the “hôtel de ville” was a hotel chain\, like Marriott\, Hilton\, Barceló\, etc. Now learning idioms and expressions is even trickier! Sometimes\, the best way of learning their meaning is by simply using them\, which is why VEQ in collaboration with Canadian Parents for French is organising this fun game night. \nAt the end of the game\, the winner of the game will get a $40 gift card (from Chocolats Favoris). Another gift card will be raffled among all participants. \nTo register for this fun activity\, please click here. \n
