Joyeux Noël !
For our last class of the year, here is a series of Christmas-related links and resources.
I hope you'll find them interesting and entertaining.
🎄 Joyeux Noël à tous, et à l'année prochaine ! 🎄
Here is the first video we watched in class, explaining how Noël is celebrated in France.
The video is in French, with both French and English subtitles. It is produced by FrenchPod101.com.
The second video we watched comes from a language school in Germany.
This one is only in French (with a little bit of German.) But don't worry, it's not difficult !
Clic Here for the class handout that includes questions about the video, as well as a full transcript.
I also recommend the following videos:
Christmas in France: So. Much. Food! (video in English)
Easy French: Noël in France (Interviewing French people about Christmas. A great way to hear the way regular people talk. In French with both French and English subtitles.)
Easy French: What did you get for Christmas? (Same as above but with kids.)
🎄🎄🎅🎄🎄
We've also studied some Christmas-related vocabulary. Here are the class handouts :
Christmas Crosswords (from the website Les cours en l'air)
To practice the vocabulary, you might also be interested in this series of exercices.
(Once you're done with a page, clic on "Exercice suivant" to navigate to the next one.)

And, last but not least, here are some Christmas songs.
The song we studied in class is Vive le vent, which is the French version of Jingle Bells.
