Spring Renewal
This week, as Spring is upon us (at least in the Northern hemisphere!), we celebrate this time for renewal and new beginnings, with a nice sprucing up of our Newsletter 🥳
Starting this week, the Kwiziq Newsletter will feature a growing variety of activities for you to read, play, listen to and practise your French, following a specific language-learning topic, be it grammar-focused, thematic or situational for example 🤗
Qu’en pensez-vous ? Join us here to share your first (and second) impressions of this Newsletter with the Kwiziq community 😊
Alors, sans plus attendre, let’s dive in in this week’s theme, which is, of course, Spring!
