I finally have a break… yesterday was a very busy day!… I spent half of my day on the road… I have to admit that getting up at 6:00 am is quite difficult for me now! I used to be a morning person though… yet, with my new online training service, my schedule changed drastically at the beginning of the year… I usually started my days around 4:00 pm and I would be online until late at night. Of course, this has not changed!… I only added 12 hours of morning training to that busy schedule. It is only a matter of getting used to a new routine…
Luna wrote asking for resuming her training soon… I got two new students yesterday… Krystal wrote me in a state of panic: she had received an email saying that she had to take the reading comprehension and written expression tests this Friday… Finally she managed to have them postponed. On the other hand, Greg (in Montreal) is very calm… I noticed that men are usually much less nervous about the SLE testing than women are: they are also highly motivated and they take it very seriously… yet they are much more relaxed. I do suspect most women of being perfectionists!… By the way, I have not heard from Joyce… results are late to come in! Maggie, in NYC, will take her oral interaction test on Friday… she is looking for a C… I am pretty sure that she will be able to obtain it…
That being said, here is my test of the day: I created a set of 28 flash cards… I am giving you expressions in English and you will have to pick the equivalent ones in French… when you will be on the page, just click on PLAY to access the flash cards…
Ottawa is probably the champion of Festivals… it is one after the other and, often they overlap!
If you are the type who likes outdoors performances and does not mind to carry around a chair, you may attend many all Summer long!
And if, like me, you are not into this type of entertainment, play my game instead by clicking here…
Amusez-vous!

Bonjour Lyne, j’ai eu 1050 points pour ce test…
En France on ne dit jamais “clairer”, est-il courant d’utiliser ce verbe au Québec ?
J’ai l’impression d’avoir déjà fait ces fash cards (c’est le miel trop liquide qui me dit quelque chose !!)
Bonjour Isabelle,
Hé oui! Malheureusement le verbe «clairer» fait partie de nos «québécismes» (qui, bien entendu, ont vu leur origine en calquant l’anglais!)… c’est ainsi que nous avons des verbes (qui n’existent pas en français bien sûr!) tels que «maller», «botcher», «céduler», «bumper», «dropper», etc… la liste est très longue!
Toutefois, ils ont tous leur terminaison en -er (au moins on en a fait des verbes réguliers du 1er groupe!)…
Le miel trop liquide faisait peut-être partie d’un autre test, ou alors je deviens sénile (pas drôle vieillir!) et j’ai proposé ce test deux fois!
Bonne semaine!
