Link Love: The Week in Review

New cool blog I found.

If you are trying to get back into learning French, or just like reading French words and things, then this is the blog for you.

French Word-A-Day

(actually, 3 times a week)

What I love best, is that Kristen writes mostly in English, but throws in French words and phrases here and there to help your brain adjust.

Then she explains each word in detail, AND the word of the day is given to you in a sentence or an audio file.

Example:

une remise (reuh meez) noun, feminine

: discount

Audio File and Example sentence: Download Wav or Download MP3

Je suis désolée, mais la remise que j’ai mentionnée hier, n’était pas valable.
I am sorry, but the discount that I mentioned yesterday was not valid.

le livre (m) = book; ce qui monte doit descendre = what goes up must come down; et c’est le cas de le dire = and that’s the least one can say; la rédaction (f) = composition (editing); désolée = sorry; même sans remise = even without the discount

Cool huh?

Moving on…

This is hilarious.

If you want to know whether a chick or guy digs you or not, check out their feet.

Speaking of which, men and women shop differently because they’re hardwired differently.

Or so they say..

Just found this cute. I also love lemon pie.

Via this is happiness.

What a brilliant, cool idea.

But I was more entranced by the damask on the right.

A cool thread-woven and wound walking stick.

Via Design Milk

Hilarious stuff for anyone who has done this.

And finally, Miss Krystal is giving away a $50 gift card to Starbucks!

Hello!
Just a precision… you live in Montreal right? Nobody will say "remise", that's French. You must say "rabais"

Yes I live in Montreal, but I’m learning Parisian French via BF who is from France…

Besides, the blog is in France, so she’s using French idioms and phrases.
