No Place Like Home
This week, we’re going home to enjoy the start of the holiday season, and we also wish all our American Kwizzers un joyeux Thanksgiving ! 🤗
It’s at times like these that we can sometimes feel a bit homesick… In French, we use the expression “avoir le mal du pays”, as in “Jane a le mal du pays quand elle ne peut pas être chez elle pour Thanksgiving”. It literally means “to ache at one’s country”, like your country is part of yourself. I find it quite poetic, don’t you think? 😊
Alors, sans plus attendre, head indoors to enjoy all the familiar and celebratory French Kwiziq content we’ve selected for you! 🥧
A Bit of French with A&C Ep.5:
Nos Villes d’Origine

Where do you come from? What makes that place special? In this week’s nostalgic episode of our podcast A Bit of French with A&C, Céline and I talk about our respective French home towns Louargat and Gallardon, and what makes these places interesting (or not 😅).
And to make these popular podcasts better than ever, this week, the practice section features 2 new related fill-in-the-blank exercises 🤯
Bonne écoute à tous !
