Bonjour tout le monde !

I want to apologize for two things in the previous newsletter. First of all, I misspelled Kwanzaa as "Kwaanza." I know the correct spelling, I was just in a hurry and made a careless mistake. My apologies. Secondly, my newsletter decided that it did not like the special character oe ligature, even though it showed up fine in the preview. So meilleurs voeux (which I've carefully spelled here without the ligature) turned to gibberish. If you did click through to the lesson, you should have seen the correct spelling. Sorry for any confusion, and see you next year!
