Counting the days to Christmas
This week, we’re counting down the days, hours, seconds… to Christmas, budgeting our holiday shopping and other festive activities as we practise our French numbers 🔢🎄
As we’re enjoying opening the windows of our Advent calendars (including the great interactive Kwiziq Advent Calendar below!), it’s the perfect time to remember that in French, we use cardinal numbers (deux,trois,douze…) to express dates, instead of the ordinal numbers used in English, with one notable exception: the 1st of the month, where we use premier (first) 😊
Alors, sans plus attendre, open your Advent calendar to discover the multitude of French Kwiziq content we’ve selected for you! 🎁
Important: Scheduled Maintenance 🛠️
We’ll be performing an important system upgrade on Wednesday, 10 December, from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM CET — see your local time here.
During this time, Kwiziq will be temporarily unavailable while we make improvements to ensure the site runs faster, more smoothly, and is ready for future updates.
There’s nothing you need to do — your data and progress will be completely safe, and you’ll be able to pick up right where you left off once we’re back online!
Thank you for your understanding and patience while we make Kwiziq even better! 💙
