Bienvenue!

Welcome to the first post on the Café Français Blog! Many thanks to Julian for this very apt photo.

The intention is to pick up on vocab, topics or grammar covered in the lessons. A little additional support in between lessons.  Last Thursday we had a long conversation about your Christmas and New Year's activities.

Some of the vocab which cropped up:

la veille de noël = Christmas Eve
la dinde = turkey
le canard = duck
l'oie = goose
le houx = holly
le voisin = neighbour
arbre de noël  / sapin de noël = Christmas tree (le sapin = fir tree)
avoir besoin de - to need ( j'ai besoin = I need)
