SUMMARY:Online Kahoots game: Les phénomènes de la nature
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. \nDid you know that Québec City is among the top ten of the snowiest cities in Canada?  One of the recommendations that you will often hear is “check the forecast daily” and with all due reason\, especially in the winter. It is important though to learn the vocabulary and expressions associated with the natural phenomena\, 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 an electronic $30 gift card. Another gift card will be raffled among all participants. \nTo register for this fun activity\, please click here. \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
