Bonne Année 2026 !
This week, we’re looking forward to a brand-new year full of good health, love and friendship, and of course, French learning milestones! Bonne Année 2026 à toutes et à tous de la part de toute l’équipe de Kwiziq ! 🥰🎆
If you’ve ever been in France at this time of year, you might have heard New Year’s Eve referred to as “La Saint-Sylvestre”. This name simply comes from the Catholic calendar of saints, where December 31st is the day dedicated to Sylvester I, who was Pope in the 4th century. Although the holiday is now a secular and festive event, the name has remained in everyday language. So if you want to impress your French-speaking friends, you can ask them: “Quels sont tes plans pour la Saint-Sylvestre ?” 😉
Did you enjoy your New Year celebrations? Come and share your fun anecdotes with us on the Newsletter comment section below! ✍️🕛
Alors, sans plus attendre, pour yourselves a glass of champagne to enjoy all the bubbly French Kwiziq content we’ve selected for you! 🥂😄

French writer Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
Let’s celebrate the start of this nouvelle année with a lovely and heartwarming sentiment in the words of French world-famous author, Victor Hugo (1802-1855):
“Saluons ensemble cette nouvelle année qui vieillit notre amitié sans vieillir notre cœur.”
(Let’s welcome together this new year which makes our friendship grow older, but not our hearts.)
