Feel-good Routine
This week, we’re focusing on feeling good about ourselves, through some lovely wellness routines 🧖♂️🧖♀️
You probably learned that to express “I’m fine” in French, you can say either “Je vais bien” or “Je me sens bien”. But for a Francophone, these sentences are not exactly synonymous: “Je vais bien” refers to a general state of being, or an expected answer in a social context, whereas “Je me sens bien” is more about an immediate physical or emotional sensation. Now you know! 😊👍
Alors, sans plus attendre, get your favourite food, put on your most comfortable clothes and settle cosily with all the satisfying French Kwiziq content we’ve selected for you! 🫶☺️

Song + Lyrics with bilingual transcript – B1 Level
Few things make us feel better than letting loose dancing to a catchy tune. And who better than high-energy Lebanese-British singer Mika (“Grace Kelly”, “Relax”) to get us moving with his cheeky and playful ode to movement “Bougez”:

Wellness Vocabulary – B1 Level
Finally, let’s learn to talk about our self-care routine with this Wellness vocabulary list and its interactive Word Game.
Another great way to remember new vocabulary is to write sentences using it in context. Here’s an example for you to get inspired:
Cette année, j’ai décidé de prendre soin de moi. Pour lutter contre le stress, je fais des exercices de relaxation et de méditation tous les matins. C’est très apaisant et je me sens bien plus serein grâce à ces activités. Je fais aussi attention à mon alimentation, et je m’hydrate régulièrement. Enfin, j’ai appris à lâcher prise et à me concentrer sur l’essentiel. J’ai réussi à trouver mon équilibre.
À vous de jouer !
Take me to your leader!
