Hello students! Two more days before THANKSGIVING BREAK! I hope you take some time to relax, safely reconnect with family, and eat some good food. I can't wait to hear about all the food. This week in content hour, we did another of the TV5 Apprendre le Francais for extra credit. This time we focused on one of our big verbs this unit "aimer," and we also practiced a bit of grammar. Here's the link in case you couldn't make it to content hour. The feedback from the students is that this exercise is "medium" difficult, which is good: not too easy, not too tough. My recommendation is to try it without the transcription at least once, and if it's too hard, open up the transcription to check your listening comprehension. Here's one thing I have learned from this unit: everyone loves French fries. I love French fries, you love French fries, Carl loves French fries. Turns out, French fries, or les frites, aren't even French. They were invented by Belgians, and are still an iconic Belgian street food served with mayonnaise. Yeah, you read that right. Mayonnaise. Here's a video of people happily roaming the streets of Belgium with their freshly fried frites: None of us can go to Belgium right now, I imagine. So if you'd like to recreate the classic frites at home, here's a recipe. These potatoes are fried not once, but twice. No wonder they taste so good.
