Mot du Jour

So despite of my incessant attempts of keeping my French up to level, it’s true that I felt that recently I feel my French slowly slipping away as I’m trapped as a busy computer science student in the English-speaking Waterloo for another month before returning back to Montreal.

Fortunately my caring bf has agreed to teach me a word everyday to help with this endeavor, which I would like to share with everyone. Hopefully it’ll help me to better remember it (:

To start off of this new trend of mine:

Canicule (nf)  

   (=chaleur)   scorching heat
   (=vague de chaleur)   heat wave
   Ex. On dit que ce sera la canicule la semaine prochaine!
