People are having wild reactions to Canadian French words so here is no less a source than the Prime Minister of Canada doing a Québecois vocabulary comparison with two vloggers from France

[ℳatt (matttomic.bsky.social) @matttomic]

It looks like Google Translate just recently added Canadian French as one of its new languages, check it out

[Señorita McCarthy @srtamccarthy]

@adamboxer1 I straight up can’t imagine teaching French and Spanish without MWBs now. Also great, once answers have been reviewed and improved, for getting students to practise their pronunciation through choral repetition as well. They will have to be pried from my cold, dead hands

@VEverettmfl @ChrisMFLTandL Fantastic blog post this - thanks

There's been lots of chatter in the mainstream media, and from certain MPs, in the last few days about trade unions.
So, here's a reminder of exactly why working people need a voice.

So much about the immigration and asylum system is just completely unknown to people day to day. Some examples:

@JessicaAmy145 @Lynn_Speirs @BeciNewton @virtuallysoph @La_Biologuita I agree that they deserve appreciation, but to suggest that all bar teachers see death & trauma (and are therefore more deserving) is false. My mum is a medical secretary, she has no contact with patients. My friend is a civil servant who works from home. Both card holders.

Dear Spanish teachers, this may as well be one of the best *free* resources this year: A gigapixel ultra HD visit to @museodelprado. Outstanding!

@mini_lebowski It was poorly timed for me as my dad had gone through a suspected (and later confirmed) TIA about a fortnight earlier. I went to my GP who was very proactive and sent me for an MRI, so I recommend going. Apparently what I experience are called hemiplegic migraines, if that helps.

[Señorita McCarthy @srtamccarthy]

@mini_lebowski Yes this does sound similar to mine. The left side of my face goes numb and usually it’s the little finger of my left hand that gets numb and tingly. I also get aura which is like a blind spot that grows until it leaves my vision. The first time, I thought I was having a TIA!

@lewizrs These look incredible, would love a copy if you are still happy to share! 🥰

[Rosie Liu @MFLMusings]

A definite highlight from this week: a competitive game of Mindreader with S3 MLLW 🇪🇸 We're a small group, and they all wanted a go at picking a sentence for the rest of the class to guess 🔮 Brilliant for building confidence with talking and developing listening skills!

[Señorita McCarthy @srtamccarthy]

@your_nd_coach My cat is also called Lili! The best spelling. Hope your little love gets well soon 🥰

[Señorita McCarthy @srtamccarthy]

@DeltaDonValley @bbcbitesize What an insightful assembly this was! Particularly loved the discussion on the importance of soft skills, as well as @MadCowFudge’s emphasis on perseverance. A fantastic opportunity for our students to widen their horizons!

@SwailesRuth @JaneRockHouse I spent 2.5hrs stationary on Blacksmith Lane to get out of Calow yesterday 😫

[Señorita McCarthy @srtamccarthy]

@ProudlyPastoral @nowMrsMFL @loosewomen I don’t imagine this will happen any time soon because the government surely realises that to do so they would need to be prepared for a mass exodus and recruitment crisis more severe than the current 🤷‍♀️

We've had such a positive response to this so we're going to extend the free access for another week. And early next week we're going to make some more academic content (e.g. questioning) free-to-start-the-year. Stay tuned.

[Adam Boxer @adamboxer1]

Ok edu-nerds: here is the MEGA-THREAD you have been waiting for...blogs from times gone past that you probably haven't read, but probably should. Buckle up. Rules go in the second tweet, blogs start in the third tweet.

Read, and share.
