Happy Thanksgiving

Whether you call it Le Jour de l'Action de Grâce, el Día de Acción de Gracias, or simply Thanksgiving, there is a lot to be thankful for even when things aren't going 100% right.

Does anyone know why we eat turkey on Thanksgiving? Hmm... let's ask a couple of turkeys!

Turkey Number 1: French


Turkey Number 2: Spanish


I couldn't understand anything those turkeys were saying! American turkeys say "Gobble! Gobble!" What do French and Spanish turkeys say?

Rebecca Black, en Francais!

I know you all can't get enough of Rebecca Black.  Her (in)famous song, Friday, appears in this verb song. Now there's a French version of her hit song! Check it out below.

Lyrics in French and English are just below the video if you watch it on YouTube.

Special thanks to Sabine for finding and sharing this cool video!

Justin Bieber - Frenchified!

Another fact: all Canadians sing as well as the Biebs.
Just kidding.  I just made that up.

Did you know that Justin Bieber is Canadian? Oh, you did, did you? 

Well, did you know that he speaks French? Oh, you knew that too?! Geez, okay.

WELL, did you know that he sings one of his hit songs, One Less Lonely Girl, in French? 

Here's the song with the lyrics.  Bon écoute (happy listening)!

Never Give Up!

Sometimes learning another language can be hard.  School in general can be hard, am I right?! Often, the difference between those who are successful and those who are not is their determination and perseverance.  

If you feel overwhelmed or down on yourself, don't give up! Get some help from a friend or teacher and take it one day at a time.  Keep giving your best effort and one day, you'll see progress and you'll understand why you have been working so hard.
