23.01.2022 If you Love Christmas and roller-blading, Caracas in Venezuela is the place to be! Every Christmas Eve, the citys residents head to church in the early morning... on roller skates. This unique tradition is so popular that roads across the city are closed to cars so that people can skate to church in safety, before heading home for the less-than-traditional Christmas dinner of tamales (a wrap made out of cornmeal dough and stuffed with meat, then steamed).... A fun tradition if you ask us. Have you ever been to Venezuela to celebrate Christmas? #christmastraditions #venezuela #rollerblades

22.01.2022 Christmas Tradition in the Phillippines Every year, on the Saturday before Christmas Eve, the city of San Fernanda ( the Christmas Capital of the Philippines ) is lit up with beautifully made lanterns to celebrate Ligligan Parul Sampernandu. Eleven barangays (villages) take part in the festival and competition is fierce as everyone pitches in trying to build the most elaborate lantern. ... The lanterns are made from a variety of materials and have grown to around six metres in size. They are illuminated by electric bulbs that sparkle in a kaleidoscope of patterns. An amazing spectacle that attracts visitors from all over the world. Have you celebrated this tradition in the Philippines?

19.01.2022 Some language learners are most comfortable with the listen-and-repeat drills of a language lab or podcast. Some need a grammar textbook to make sense of a foreign tongue. Each of these approaches is fine, but its a mistake to rely on only one. Language learners who use multiple methods get to practise different skills and see concepts explained in different ways. Whats more, the variety can keep them from getting stuck in a learning rut. Need help practising different meth...ods? Contact us today! #languagelearning #spanish #french #english

18.01.2022 Language learning involves a lot of uncertainty students will encounter new vocabulary daily, and for each grammar rule there will be a dialectic exception or irregular verb. The type of learner who sees a new word and reaches for the dictionary instead of guessing the meaning from the context may feel stressed and disoriented in an immersion class. Ultimately, they might quit their language studies out of sheer frustration. Its a difficult mindset to break, but small ex...ercises can help. Find a song or text in the target language and practice figuring out the gist, even if a few words are unknown. #languagelearning #english #spanish #french

18.01.2022 The French know how to celebrate Christmas. This week we share with you the top French Christmas Traditions. 1. Advent The four weeks before Christmas are dedicated to preparations for Christmas. On 1 December children open their first window/door in the Advent calendar. This French Christmas tradition makes kids even more excited about upcoming Christmas events.... 2. Christmas Eve The evening of December 24th is when French families sit down together to celebrate Christmas and enjoy festive French foods and wines. If you've heard about French people eating long and slowly, this dinner is the greatest example of this French custom. The meal can go for up to six hours. Food is a big part of French Christmas Traditions. 3. Le Réveillon This is the name of the French Christmas Eve meal, which is a big and long feast. The name comes from the verb réveiller, to wake up or revive. Increasingly more families start this French Christmas tradition on Christmas Day, when it is easier for the whole family to gather together. 4. Midnight Mass A church service is held on Christmas Eve. It is actually an important Christmas tradition in France for many people who try to attend the mass, although more and more people prefer services on Christmas Day. 5. Les Treize (13) desserts This is a Provençal French Christmas tradition but worth mentioning as it sounds so challenging' can you imagine having 13 desserts after the main (big) Christmas feast? In France they are important as they symbolise Christ and the 12 apostles at the Last Supper. Typical desserts include fruits, nuts and sweets such as dried figs, hazelnuts or walnuts, almonds and dried grapes or a cake called Pompe à lhuile. As part of this Christmas tradition in France, everyone has to taste each dessert in order to have good luck for the upcoming year.

Crèche Vivante/ Pessebres These are the nativity scene shows that are very popular particularly in the south west of France. They are performed at various times during the Christmas season.... La fête des Rois The 6 January is a day to celebrate the arrival of the Three Wise Kings. Some places in France perform a street procession of the Three Kings for children to watch. La Galette des Rois The 'king's cake' celebrates Epiphany in France. There are three versions of this cake and the most popular consists of flaky puff pastry layers with a center of frangipane or apple. There is also a sablé galette which has a type of sweetcrust pastry and brioche cake with candied fruits and sugar. The cakes are usually sold in special bags with the paper crown for the 'king' who finds the fève a small figure/bean hidden in their piece of cake. Traditionally, it is the youngest in the family who distributes the pieces of cake hiding below the table and shouting the name of the person who should get each piece.

11.01.2022 And our last part of French Christmas Traditions. Chants de Noël There are not many traditional French Christmas carols, but there are usually hymns from church instead. That is why many Christmas songs have been taken from UK, Germany and other places. Over time, non-religious songs have been translated from different languages into French, for example the French Jingle Bells is Vive le vent.... French Christmas Greetings French people wish each other Joyeux Noël or Bonnes Fêtes. It's important to never wish anyone a Bonne Année (Happy New Year) before midnight on New Year's Eve as this brings bad luck. Christmas crackers Christmas crackers were invented by Tom Smith in the19th century as an inspiration from his visit to Paris. Apparently he saw the French bon bon sweets (almonds wrapped in pretty paper) and once he returned to London he started selling them with a small motto message inside. Then, his sons added paper crowns and small gifts and they became really popular in England. Sadly, crackers have never become part of French Christmas traditions. Festive circus This is a popular feature of the Christmas in France and beloved by kids! Marché de Noel Christmas markets are very popular in France, although perhaps not exclusively a French Christmas tradition. There are a few towns and villages in France where artisans' produce, gifts and local culinary delicacies, such as foie gras and confit de canard, are sold. Christkindelsmärik This is the the most famous and oldest Christmas market in France. You can find it in Strasbourg in Alsace with many traditional French products to buy as gifts. Do you know any other French Christmas traditions we forgot to mention? What's your favourite one?

04.01.2022 Yesterday we started sharing a few of the typical French Christmas Traditions. The French have a lot of traditions, so here is part 2 French alcohol at Christmas Mulled wine is popular in bars and in French Christmas markets, although you won't see it so much at French houses. During Christmas dinner a very good wine is required and Champagne is imperative.... Table decoration It is very important for French people to have their Christmas dining table looking extremely elegant and inviting. It's common to put three candlesticks on the table, which represent the Trinity. An interesting French Christmas tradition is that the French knot the ends of the tablecloth so the Devil can't get under the table. The sapin de noël The Christmas tree is decorated some time before Christmas Day, so there's plenty of time to be ready for Christmas Eve when Santa Claus comes. Shoes in front of the fireplace French children put their shoes near the fireplace so that Père Noël can find them and fill them with small presents or treats. Les Cadeaux de Noël Time for presents! Père Noël brings them during the night and kids typically open their presents on the morning of Christmas Day. Le Père Fouettard Father Spanker is the partner and helper of Saint Nicolas. He decides if each kid behaved well or not. He is the one who does the spanking to bad behaving children. Do you recognise some of those traditions? What are typical Christmas Traditions for you?

03.01.2022 Fear It doesnt matter how well a person can write in foreign script, conjugate a verb, or finish a vocabulary test. To learn, improve, and truly use your target language, we need to speak.

The key is that those mistakes help language learners by showing them the limits of language, and correcting errors before they become ingrained.
