Cette semaine, c’est la chandeleur, quarante jour après noël on célèbre la fête des chandelles et de la lumière, en préparant des crêpes ! Cette fête et ses traditions sont très mélangées entre origines païennes et origines chrétiennes c’est pourquoi cette fête s’accompagne souvent de son lot de superstitions. Pourquoi fait-on des crêpes ? Tout simplement, parce que leur forme ronde et leur couleur dorée représente le soleil et sa lumière. Si quelques-uns d’entre nous se contentent juste de savourer une crêpe ce jour-là, d’autres continuent de respecter la tradition de retourner la première crêpe en la faisant sauter de la main droite en tenant une pièce dans l’autre main. La crêpe doit retomber dans la poêle et on place ensuite cette première crêpe au-dessus d’une armoire. Oui oui, tout ça est censé vous apporter richesse et prospérité ! Et quoi quel est ton pêché mignon ?

Each language has it's own way to pronunciate and express what you want to say. To express your thoughts. So in order to achieve that we a have one of the most beautiful tools within our body, the voice. The voice is a result of breathing, vocal cords and the mouth system. Muscles outer and inner ones, tongue, teeth and airflow basically. So if you want to pronunciate correctly from one language to another you just need to become aware and imitate the same movements.
How?
In fron of a mirror
read a list ow words in your own language and in the language you want to learn.
slowly pronunciate your words and the new words.
Become aware of the movements you give for granted and the new movements.
Feel your mouth.

It is a process where you need to slow down form any of your rush from the day. A chance to know better and a kind of mindful meditation as well. So many things to be grateful! Just play with it and with patience you are going to talk even better than me..

Yes but how do I know the new movements and how they sounds?
Listen to my podcast and search on videos that are showing you the mouth sounds, or simpler follow my simple method. Repeat!

What a difference six months make. If you asked me a year ago what my plans were, I probably would have said something along these lines: “Well, considering Covid restrictions seem to finally be easing, and considering the fact that we haven’t really been in the South of France that long, I think we should probably stay at least another year or two or three. Try to put down some roots. Keep trying1 to build a little community here.”
