Quebec, Canada: Talk the Snowsports Talk
If your family is headed to Mont Sainte Anne, Le Massif or other snowsports regions in Quebec province for some winter fun, bring this guide along to have a few simple French phrases and non-alpine outdoor activity options on hand. It's a great way to engage foreign language learners in the family vacation.
Here are our key phrases for very important Snow Talk, so master them carefully. You can practice the first one on the kids; we don't think it needs any translation if you've prepped them well for this ski vacation: "Voulez-vous faire de ski avec moi?"
