Joyeux Anniversaire

Another eavesdropping mp3 from a birthday party where we sang Joyeux Anniversaire twice.

The phrase Bon anniversaire is also possible, though it’s always Joyeux anniversaire in the song.

In Quebec, you say Bonne fête instead of Bon anniversaire.

Pâques / Easter

More eavesdropping on conversations. Talking about who brings presents on Easter: the bell or the bunny? Plus discussing the name of the holiday in French and English (and German).
