New York City, I'm ready to meet you!

Let me tell you about my trip preparations for NYC 

In April next year, we are going to travel from Paris, France to New York City, in the USA.

First of all, plane tickets (Paris - NYC)

After months, weeks, days, and hours of research online, we finally found the best deal with SAS Airlines, a Scandinavian airline. Unlike low-cost carriers such as Norse Atlantic Airlines, SAS includes meals and drinks with the flight. We'll be traveling with one handbag per person, one small item per person, plus one 23 kg luggage for the three of us for only 513€/person. Minimalism will be key.

Second, accommodations. 

We've started booking a few Bed & Breakfasts near places we want to visit outside NYC, and a hotel near Paris airport for the departure day. We check the TrustedHouseSitters platform daily in search of a free pet sitting opportunity for our week in NYC (With the promo code MARGOT20, get -20% off the yearly fee). We can't wait to live like New Yorkers, taking care of cats or other small pets while exploring the city.

Third, car rental. 

We've booked a car with AVIS through booking.com for our four days outside NYC. (346€ for 4 days)

Fourth, planning activities. 

Now we have time to bookmark all the things we want to do in NYC on Instagram, read our Guide du Routad & Lonely Planets travel guide, and buy practical cabin luggage. I've also contacted dozens of bilingual and French schools in NYC to offer my bilingual picture book and my French workshops or online lessons. I might even spend some time in a French school in NYC (for an author reading event)! That would be a fantastic experience! I have also contacted the biggest French bookstore of NYC La Librairie Albertine to offer a book signing.

What we would love to visit & do

Learn French with Music: Sous le Ciel de Paris, Edith Piaf

Image
Sous le ciel de Paris This week, in our French class for adults , we will study this emblematic song, by Edith Piaf.  Learning a new language also means traveling to the heart of a new culture. This song will transport you to an idyllic Paris. The French language is renowned for its complexity. But we can make learning it exciting by exploring vocabulary and grammar through popular songs. During our French class, we have studied the verbs "être" (to be) and "avoir" (to have) in French . So, I have asked my students to locate these verbs in the lyrics of the song.To help them, I had previously bolded and colored all the verbs in red. We have also studied the definite and indefinite articles in French. They are essential to build sentences: Definite articles: le, la, les (the) Indefinite articles: un, une, des (a /an, some) Song lyrics Sous le ciel de Paris S' envole une chanson Hum, hum Elle est née d'aujourd'hui Dans le cœur d' un garçon Sous ...
