FRENCH DAYS AND MONTHS

by Amanda, Lizzie, Jessica, Dan, Mo, Alisia, Tilio, Ryan, Ariel, Jordan, Meaghan, and Jackie

Bonjour! The French days and months are important to anybody who wants to live in a French-speaking community. It is important to learn the days and months in French because... 1. What if you were in France and you needed to tell your birthday for registration? 2. Maybe someday you will want to live in France and you need to have the appropriate dates on your visa. 3. Maybe if you are in France you will want to know the days and months and holidays so the French people won't think you are silly. 4. What if you met this girl/guy in France and you wanted to give them a valentine? You would need to know how to say Valentine's day in French (jour de valentine). 5. What if you wanted to say something about a holiday to someone in French? You would need to know the holidays in French. So, all you people that might say, "I don't need to know the French days, months and holidays" we just proved you wrong. Come see our web-site.
