Christmas Eve Day and a Gift

This is the fourth and final episode in our series on the traditions for Christmas and more in France. I promised a gift that will go out to our newsletter subscribers (because you cannot publish a free thing this beautiful in the podcast notes!), so here is the link for signing up for the newsletter, in case you are not already a member of Commence le Dream: Sign up for our newsletter here!

Our brand new, hope-filled (may travel begin again in earnest!) e-course is French Abroad! In one easy place, find all you need to know and know how to say to enjoy your next voyage!

Check out our lessons for families: French with kids. We help you create the space, time, and connections that bring French alive chez you, away from a screen. Delivered online, to be used face to face. Don't wait: speak today, the way that makes speaking another language as natural and useful as your native tongue. You are already having a blast with French with Kids? Chouette! Add in one of the following to bring your couple into full French communication too. Fill your ears, your vocal cords, and your life with French!

French at Home: a Conversation Be prepared for your next trip, do not wait one more day to "be ready". Now is the time: learn and practice request and response together and unplugged. Course for those who perhaps spoke French once upon a time and need to refresh and reinvent the language.

For beginners: French at Home: a Debut We walk you through it, request and response, short, to the point, and always relevant, building confidence, vocabulary, and the thrill of another language.
