Ah, m***e.

Something you utter afterwards, when gutted e.g. that your team loses (on Bastille Day too!) – or beforehand.

Similar to the English idiom "break a leg," French speakers tell each other 'm***e' before exams, interviews, or performances.

It comes from 19th-century Paris, when wealthy patrons attended the theater in horse-drawn carriages. Streets covered in horse manure were proof of a successful, crowded show. Because more manure meant more spectators, actors and dancers began wishing each other "beaucoup de m***e" (lots of sh*t) to guarantee a packed house.

Clearly not enough fans showed up in horse-drawn carriages in Dallas today 🤷‍♀️💩

(This coming from someone who actually doesn't care about football but inexplicably turns into an excitable sheep towards the end of a ⚽ tournament).

"Quelle vue!" 🏞️🥾☀️

Even on a 13km hike with a 750m elevation gain I manage to think of grammar 🤓

"Quel" here is an exclamatory determiner, used to express surprise, emphasis, or strong emotion.
It conveys the meaning of 'what', 'such', 'what a'.
It must agree with the noun in gender and number.

Par exemple :

★ Quelle vue! What a view! 😍
★ Quel dommage! What a pity! 🤷‍♀️
★ Quelle chance! Such luck! 🍀
★ Quels idiots ! Such idiots! 🤦‍♀️
★ Quelles jolies chansons ! What pretty songs! 🎶

It was a hot day, and the water pools on the way were pure bliss – quel bonheur! 💚

☀️ Montpellier ☀️

I'm always enchanted and a bit emotional when walking through my hometown's narrow streets, countless hidden squares and medieval buildings.

★ Only a short tram ride from the beach 🏖️

★ 300 days of sunshine a year ☀️

★ A dynamic and young city (every fourth person here is a student, every other is under 30!) 🎉

It's the perfect holiday destination (and I'm not even mentioning the food and the wine)! 😋

Bonus – You can learn French with a Southern French twang here 😁

Are you packed yet?! ☀️✈️🍷🥖

Le 14 Juillet 💙🤍♥️

This is what we call Bastille Day in France. Never 'le Jour de la Bastille' 😃

A great opportunity to make some friandises tricolores, and also at the end of another academic year, to thank all my lovely and hard-working students who are trusting me with their French learning journey.
Merci! 🙏

"Nous aurons toujours Paris..."

As a child, I remember finding Paris utterly exciting, yet also loud, a little dirty and somehow discourteous.

Nowadays I find it even more mesmerizing, and so much more welcoming and easy-going. The noise over the years seems to have shifted from the roads to the bar and restaurant terraces, with bikes everywhere (which _en vrai_ , the French drive as maniacally as cars).

It's a new experience every time, and every time I fall in love with its Lights a bit more 💙

What's been your own experience of Paris?

Find someone who looks at you the way the French look at cheese 😍🧀

Bonne St Valentin à tous les amoureux ! ♥️

👑🥧 l'Épiphanie! 👑🥧

The 6th of January commemorates the visit of the three Wise Men to baby Jesus. It's traditional (on that day and throughout the month) to eat 'la Galette des Rois', a cake made of two layers of buttery puff pastry and frangipane, a kind of almond cream with butter and sugar.

A small charm ('la fève') is hidden in the cake and the person who finds it in their slice is the King or Queen for the day, wearing a crown for the rest of the day. 👑👑👑

⚜️ Fun fact!⚜️ The French president is not allowed to play the “Galette des Rois” game. A giant 1.2m galette is prepared for the Elysée each year but the pastry chef is not allowed to bake a fève into it - entirely inappropriate for a King to be crowned in the presidential palace! 😃

2025 (deux-mille-vingt-cinq) !! 🥂🍀🎉

[it's never been as hard to pronounce than since 1999 😅]

Je vous souhaite à toutes et tous de joyeux moments, de belles rencontres, de nouvelles aventures et le désir de toujours continuer à apprendre.

ps- mille-neuf-cent-quatre-vingt-dix-neuf....🤦‍♀️🤣
