Bonjour Pairs!

To prepare for your trip, practice translation of vocabulary for basic modes of transportation by taking the translation quiz at

Then review your transporation vocabulary (while having some fun!) by playing Hangman at www.syvum.com/learn/vocabulary/French. Click either "transport" link to get to the Hangman games.
