Halloween

Happy Halloween à tous et toutes !!

In the spirit of the holiday I’m sharing this silly video with you all. If you’ve never heard of this show, Têtes à Claques, it was created by les québécois and they’re essentially making fun of their French Canadian French. It’s obviously very exaggerated, which makes it funny. I discovered this show during my last year at university in a class called Les Registres du Français, where a classmate did a presentation on this show and the French Canadian register. (My presentation was on an Albert Camus speech, which wasn’t as entertaining.)

Without further ado, here is the video. I hope you enjoy! It has French subtitles so you can get what is being said.

Do you celebrate Halloween where you’re from? If you do, what are your traditions?

Enjoy your evening and be safe!

A bientôt !!

Bon Réveillon !

Bon Réveillon à tous et toutes ! Happy New Year, everyone! 
I will be back to posting, I promise. Please leave a comment for anything you’d like to see here. I will be posting weekly – once a week. It takes a lot of planning and prepping for every post, so bear with me. 🙂
Until then, have a happy and safe New Year! See you in 2016!
À bientôt !
