French traditions - The way we commemorate events in our culture's history by setting
apart specific times to honor them, and what we do during those times, say much about
us as a people. Our national holidays and our small-town celebrations are important for
different reasons. Using over 50 links, I have tried to include here as much information as
I could find about holidays, feast days and their traditions in the French-speaking world. I
have not stopped with national holidays or commonly celebrated religious feast days, but
presented local celebrations where they were available.

Vocabulary Acquisition - The following list of over 100 vocabulary links includes pages focusing
on vocabulary acquisition and pointers to those whose focused topic is favorable to
contextualized learning. We have linked in the most extensive online multi-dictionary resource

in the topic whose vocabulary you wish to acquire.
